StalledNext up: The SenateNo action in 16 months

The House passed this bill in March 2025, and it is now waiting for the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs to take action. The bill is stalled because no progress has been made since March 2025. It is unlikely to move forward because the Senate often does not schedule bills that have already passed the House.

Key Points

This bill requires the U.S. Postal Service to create new rules for tracking traffic accidents. Any time a vehicle carrying mail is involved in a crash that causes an injury or death, the driver must report it to the Postal Service within three days.
Both official Postal Service employees and outside contractors who move mail are covered by this law. If a contractor fails to report a crash on time, they could face penalties like fines or even lose their government contract.
The Postal Service will build a digital database to store this information and must release a summary report to the public every year. To protect people's privacy, these public reports will not include the names of the drivers or victims involved.
This law defines a crash as any accident that results in a death, an injury requiring a hospital visit, or damage so bad that a vehicle has to be towed away. It aims to help the government spot safety problems and make the roads safer for everyone.
