To direct the United States Postal Service to designate single, unique ZIP Codes for certain communities, and for other purposes.

In plain language: Residents and businesses in 66 designated communities across the country will receive their own dedicated ZIP codes within nine months. Many of these areas currently share postal codes with neighboring municipalities or are split across multiple zones, leading to misdelivered packages and inaccurate local records. The change requires the U.S. Postal Service to give each listed community its own single postal identity to ensure mail and public services align with actual town borders.
