To designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 100 North Taylor Lane in Patagonia, Arizona, as the "Jim Kolbe Memorial Post Office".
Summary
HB4164 is a commemorative naming bill that would rename the United States Postal Service facility at 100 North Taylor Lane in Patagonia, Arizona, as the “Jim Kolbe Memorial Post Office.” The bill also provides that any future reference in law, regulation, map, document, or other record to that facility should be understood to mean the newly designated memorial post office.
The measure does not alter postal operations, funding, or service levels. Its sole legal effect is to assign an honorary name to an existing federal building and to ensure consistency in official references after the designation takes effect.
Impact
If enacted, the bill would amend the official designation of a specific USPS facility in Patagonia, Arizona, and require federal references to that location to use the memorial name. It would not create new regulatory authority, change postal policy, or impose substantive obligations on the Postal Service beyond signage and recordkeeping associated with the renaming.
Sentiment
The available context suggests the bill is largely ceremonial and likely noncontroversial. It was introduced by a bipartisan group of Arizona House members and referred to committee without recorded debate or votes in the provided materials, indicating no evident opposition in the available record. The naming honors Jim Kolbe, implying the bill is intended as a tribute rather than a policy change.
Contention
No specific points of contention appear in the provided transcripts or voting history. Because the bill is a post office naming measure, any disagreement would likely be limited to the appropriateness of the memorial designation itself rather than the substance of federal law. The absence of committee discussion and recorded votes in the supplied context suggests no documented controversy at this stage.
