To designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 409 South Hicks Street in Lawrenceville, Virginia, as the "James Solomon Russell Post Office".
Summary
HB2141 is a commemorative naming bill that would designate the United States Postal Service facility at 409 South Hicks Street in Lawrenceville, Virginia, as the “James Solomon Russell Post Office.” The bill also provides that any future reference in law, regulation, map, document, or other record to that postal facility should be understood to mean the newly named post office.
The measure does not alter postal operations, funding, or service levels; its effect is limited to the official name of a single federal building. It is a standard congressional naming bill that creates a permanent honorary designation for the Lawrenceville post office and ties that designation to all official references going forward.
Impact
If enacted, the bill would amend the official federal designation of one USPS facility in Virginia and require government references to use the new honorary name. It would not create new programs, change postal policy, or impose regulatory obligations beyond updating references to the facility in official records and documents.
Sentiment
Because the bill is a straightforward post office naming measure, the available context suggests a generally neutral to positive sentiment, with no recorded votes or committee debate indicating opposition. The absence of transcripts or amendments suggests the bill is likely noncontroversial and primarily ceremonial in nature.
Contention
No notable points of contention are reflected in the provided record. There are no committee transcripts, recorded votes, or amendments showing disagreement over the designation, the honoree, or any broader policy issue. Any discussion would likely center only on the appropriateness of honoring James Solomon Russell through a federal postal naming.
