Summary — H.R. 5476 (Public Law No. 118–116)

Title: To designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 1077 River Road, Suite 1, in Washington Crossing, Pennsylvania, as the “Susan C. Barnhart Post Office”.

Main purpose

This law officially names the U.S. Postal Service facility at 1077 River Road, Suite 1, Washington Crossing, PA, the “Susan C. Barnhart Post Office.” Its sole substantive effect is to change the official designation of that postal facility and to ensure that federal references use the new name.

Key provisions

  • Designation: The USPS facility at 1077 River Road, Suite 1, Washington Crossing, Pennsylvania, shall be known and designated as the “Susan C. Barnhart Post Office.”
  • Conforming references: Any reference in federal law, maps, regulations, documents, papers, or other records to that USPS facility shall be considered a reference to the “Susan C. Barnhart Post Office.”

No other operational, funding, or policy changes to USPS services or personnel are made by this law.

Who is affected

  • The primary effect is nominal and administrative: the named postal facility and any federal records, maps, or references that identify that site.
  • Local community members, postal customers, and USPS staff at that location will see the facility referred to by the new name.
  • No direct changes to postal service delivery, funding, or employment terms are included.

Procedural and timeline information

  • Introduced in the House: (file shows introduction in 2023–2024 timeframe)
  • Passed House (suspension/voice vote): June 3, 2024
  • Transmitted to and passed by the Senate (unanimous consent): November 19, 2024
  • Presented to the President: November 21, 2024
  • Signed into law (Public Law No. 118–116): November 25, 2024

Notes and context

  • The statute is a short, commemorative naming bill; such bills are commonly used to honor individuals by designating federal buildings or facilities in their name.
  • The document materials provided for this request also include, intermingled, text of an unrelated bill titled the “Preparing And Retaining All (PARA) Educators Act” (a grant program for paraprofessionals). That material is not part of Public Law No. 118–116 and appears to be from a separate bill file (H.R. 5476 in a different Congress/session). The enacted law described above is limited to the postal facility designation.
