What it does
This bill renames a U.S. Postal Service facility in Plainfield, Illinois, after Staff Sergeant Jose Dueñez Jr., a military service member. The renamed building will be officially known as the 'Staff Sergeant Jose Dueñez Jr. Post Office Building,' and all federal references to the facility will be updated accordingly. No funds are appropriated, no operational changes are made, and no citizens are directly restricted or empowered—this is a commemorative designation only.
Why we flagged it

Who it affects
