Lets local postal service contractors keep operating even if the USPS ends their agreement.
This bill would let private businesses that run local postal service centers continue operating them, even if the U.S. Postal Service decides to end their contract. These businesses would keep offering retail postal services to their communities, though they might not get paid by the Postal Service unless the Postmaster General agrees.
Today, if the United States Postal Service (USPS) ends or doesn't renew an agreement with a private contractor running a local postal unit, that unit would stop operating under that contract. This bill would change that by letting contractors choose to keep operating their local postal units under amended agreements, even if the USPS decides to end the original contract. These continued operations might happen without payment from the USPS, unless the Postmaster General decides to make payments.
