What this bill does
S. 3835 would designate the U.S. Postal Service facility at 10 East Main Street in Mahaffey, Pennsylvania, as the "Robert Allen Bishop, Sr., Post Office Building." The bill also specifies that any existing law, map, regulation, document, or other federal record referring to that facility must thereafter be treated as referring to it by this new name.
The designation directly affects the USPS, which will operate the facility under the new name, and the Mahaffey, Pennsylvania community it serves. It does not change postal operations, services, or funding; it is a commemorative naming action honoring Robert Allen Bishop, Sr.
The bill was introduced in the Senate on February 11, 2026, by Sen. Dave McCormick (R-PA), with Sen. John Fetterman as a cosponsor, and was referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. As of August 6, 2026, the committee ordered it to be reported favorably without amendment.
