The House Oversight and Reform Committee approved a pair of postal reform bills Thursday that are soon headed to the House floor for a vote.
The 2021 Postal Service Reform Act has support from Postmaster General Louis DeJoy and is cosponsored by Committee Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.), Ranking Member James Comer (R-Ky.), Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.) and Government Operations Subcommittee Chairman Gerry Connolly (D-Va.)
Maloney said Thursday that the bipartisan postal reform legislation has been “years in the making,” while Comer said he believes the bill has “a good chance of becoming law.”
The bill now heads to the House Ways and Means Committee and House Energy and Commerce Committee, both of which have jurisdiction over Medicare, for possible amendments before it heads to the House floor for a vote.
