To designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 86-014 Farrington Highway in Wai'anae, Hawai'i, as the "U.S Representative Colleen Hanabusa Post Office Building".

Summary of HR 8945 (119th Congress)

Purpose and intent

• Designates a United States Postal Service facility in Wai‘anae, Hawai‘i (86-014 Farrington Highway) as the “U.S Representative Colleen Hanabusa Post Office Building.”
• The designation serves to honor U.S. Representative Colleen Hanabusa for her public service and contributions.

Key provisions

• Official designation: The bill would rename the specified USPS post office building in Wai‘anae, Hawai‘i, to the “U.S Representative Colleen Hanabusa Post Office Building.”
• Legislative action: Requires or authorizes the appropriate USPS and federal authorities to implement the name designation on building signage and formal references in official materials, in accordance with standard designation procedures.
• Internal housekeeping: May require the Secretary of the Treasury and the Postmaster General to make necessary administrative changes (e.g., signage, plaques, and records) to reflect the new designation.

Affected entities and stakeholders

• Primary: United States Postal Service and the Wai‘anae community that uses or relies on the designated post office facility.
• Honoree and family: Colleen Hanabusa and her relatives, as the individual being honored.
• General public and local policymakers: Residents and local government in Hawai‘i who interact with the post office or engage in federal designation ceremonies.

Procedural and timeline aspects

• Introduction and referral: Introduced in the House and referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on May 20, 2026.
• Likely process: After committee evaluation, the bill would proceed to the House floor for consideration, then potentially to the Senate (if applicable) for passage and presidential signature.
• Implementation timeline: Dependent on the legislative timeline and USPS administrative processes following enactment.

Additional context

• The bill lists a broad set of co-sponsors from both parties and leadership figures, indicating a cross-party and cross-venue interest in the designation.
• No fiscal provisions or funding appropriations appear in the summary; the designation typically involves administrative actions rather than sizable new spending.

Practical impact for the public

• The post office building would bear the name recognizing Colleen Hanabusa, which may be used in official signage, maps, and references in federal and local communications.
• The designation does not change postal operations, services, or staffing levels; it primarily affects branding and monument-like recognition.
