A bill to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service at 1300 East Northwest Highway in Palatine, Illinois, as the “Bernie Bluestein Post Office Building”.

S. 3444 would rename the U.S. Postal Service facility at 1300 East Northwest Highway in Palatine, Illinois, as the "Bernie Bluestein Post Office Building." The bill also directs that any existing reference to this facility in federal laws, maps, regulations, or other records be treated as referring to the new name.

The designation primarily affects the Postal Service, which would need to update signage and records for the Palatine facility, and the surrounding Palatine, Illinois community that uses this post office. It has no broader regulatory or funding effects beyond the naming change.

The bill was introduced in the Senate on December 11, 2025, by Sen. Richard Durbin, joined by Sen. Tammy Duckworth, and referred to the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. On August 6, 2026, the committee ordered the bill reported favorably without amendment. Next, it would go to the full Senate for a vote; if passed, it would need to pass the House and be signed by the President to become law.
