What it does
The bill tells the U.S. Postal Service to deliver mail to the curb for small developments. A development must have 50 or fewer single-family homes. It must be within 300 yards of a home that already gets curbside delivery. The Postal Service cannot spend money to stop this service.
Who it affects
Residents of small developments get curbside mail delivery. They no longer walk to a central mailbox.
One thing to notice
The rule only applies if a nearby home already gets curbside delivery. Some small developments might not qualify.
