HR 1133: United States Postal Service; 250th anniversary; reaffirming support for its continued public service to the American people; recognize

This resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives marks the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States Postal Service (USPS) in 1775. It recounts the USPS's history and its role in delivering mail, prescriptions, election ballots, and business correspondence to Americans, including the more than 630,000 postal workers nationwide and those in Georgia. The resolution does not change any Georgia law. Instead, it formally states that the House celebrates the USPS's anniversary and reaffirms its support for the Postal Service remaining a public institution, expressing opposition to proposals that would privatize or weaken it. It directs the Clerk of the House to make copies available to the public and the press.

• Formally celebrates the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States Postal Service in the Georgia House of Representatives.
• States the House's reaffirmed support for the USPS continuing as a public institution rather than being privatized or weakened.
• Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to distribute copies of the resolution to the public and press.
• Creates no new law, funding, or enforceable requirement; it is a statement of the House's position.

The resolution speaks to USPS employees, including postal workers in Georgia, and to Georgians who rely on mail delivery for prescriptions, election ballots, and correspondence, particularly in rural and underserved areas. It carries no direct legal effect on any group.

Because this is a resolution rather than a bill amending Georgia law, it does not change how the Postal Service operates or is funded. Its practical effect is to put the Georgia House of Representatives on record supporting the USPS remaining public, which may inform future policy debates.

• The first resolving clause has the House celebrate the USPS's 250th anniversary and its historic contributions.
• The second resolving clause has the House reaffirm support for the USPS as a public institution that must not be weakened or diminished.
• The final clause directs the Clerk of the House to prepare and distribute copies of the resolution to the public and the press.
