To require curbside delivery of mail at certain housing developments, and for other purposes.
The source supplies the latest action, but no lifecycle stage.
Latest action (31 Aug 2026): Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
What this bill does
H.R. 10191 would require the United States Postal Service to provide curbside mail delivery to residents of certain housing developments, defined as clusters of 50 or fewer single-family homes located within 300 yards of another residence that already receives curbside delivery. The bill also bars the Postal Service from spending any funds, including money from the Postal Service Fund, to end or reduce curbside delivery at these developments.
The bill primarily affects the Postal Service, which would be required to maintain or establish curbside delivery in these smaller residential clusters, and residents of qualifying developments, who would be guaranteed this form of mail service rather than alternatives such as centralized mailboxes or cluster boxes. It would not apply to larger developments or those not near an existing curbside-delivery residence.
The bill was introduced on August 31, 2026, by Rep. Timothy Kennedy of New York and referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. As an introduced bill, it has not yet been considered or voted on by the committee or the full House, and would need to pass both chambers of Congress and be signed by the President before becoming law.
