Purpose and intent

The bill designates the United States Postal Service facility at 333 West Broadway, Anaheim, California, as the “Dr. William I. ‘Bill’ Kott Post Office Building.” Its sole purpose is to give the facility an official commemorative name for use in federal records and references.

Key provisions

  • Official designation: The USPS facility located at 333 West Broadway in Anaheim, CA, shall be known and designated as the “Dr. William I. ‘Bill’ Kott Post Office Building.”
  • References: Any reference in a law, map, regulation, document, paper, or other record of the United States to that facility shall be considered a reference to the new name.

The enrolled bill contains only these two short subsections reflecting the name change and the treatment of references.

Who is affected

  • The designation affects:
    • The U.S. Postal Service facility at the stated Anaheim address (official name change for identification and recognition).
    • Federal agencies and publications that maintain maps, laws, regulations, and records where the facility is referenced (those references will be read as the new name).
  • There is no change to postal operations, services, ownership, staffing, funding, or jurisdiction.

Fiscal and operational impact

  • No new federal spending, regulatory changes, or programmatic effects are created by this bill.
  • Expected administrative actions: updates to USPS listings, signage, and federal records or maps to reflect the designated name. Any costs for signage are typically minimal and absorbed within agency operating budgets.

Legislative timeline and procedure

  • Referred to House Committee on Oversight and Accountability (Feb 1, 2024); ordered reported (Feb 6).
  • Passed House under suspension of the rules by voice vote (June 3, 2024).
  • Received in Senate and referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs (June 4); reported favorably (Aug 1).
  • Placed on Senate Legislative Calendar (Calendar No. 466); passed Senate without amendment by unanimous consent (Nov 19, 2024).
  • Presented to President (Nov 21, 2024); signed into law (Nov 25, 2024) as Public Law No. 118‑126.

Notes

Naming post offices to honor local figures is a common congressional practice. This bill is a formal, symbolic designation and does not alter the legal status or functions of the facility beyond its official name.
