What this bill does
H.R. 8945 would officially rename the United States Postal Service facility located at 86-014 Farrington Highway in Wai'anae, Hawai'i, as the "U.S. Representative Colleen Hanabusa Post Office Building." The bill also specifies that any existing references to this facility in federal laws, maps, regulations, documents, or other records would automatically be treated as referring to the new name.
The bill directly affects the Postal Service, which would need to update signage and records to reflect the new designation, as well as residents and businesses in Wai'anae who use this facility. Its practical effect is largely symbolic and administrative, honoring former U.S. Representative Colleen Hanabusa without changing postal operations or services.
The bill was introduced on May 20, 2026, by Rep. Jill Tokuda of Hawai'i, with several bipartisan cosponsors, and was referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. As of the latest action on July 22, 2026, the committee ordered the bill to be reported by voice vote, meaning it has cleared committee review. The next steps would involve consideration by the full House of Representatives, followed by potential Senate action, before it could be sent to the President for signature into law.
