US Federal House Bill HB8909

Introduced
 

Caption

To designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 15422 NY 104 in Martville, New York, as the "Sergeant Staret J. Ingleston Memorial Post Office Building".

Summary

HB8909 is a commemorative naming bill that would designate the United States Postal Service facility at 15422 NY 104 in Martville, New York, as the “Sergeant Staret J. Ingleston Memorial Post Office Building.” The bill also provides that any future reference in federal law, maps, regulations, documents, papers, or other records to that postal facility should be understood to mean the newly named memorial post office building. The measure does not create a new program, benefit, or regulatory requirement. Its sole legal effect is to rename a specific federal postal property in honor of Sergeant Staret J. Ingleston, a symbolic recognition that is common in congressional naming legislation. The bill was introduced in the House and referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

Impact

If enacted, the bill would amend the official designation of one USPS facility in Martville, New York, and would require federal references to that location to use the memorial name. It would not alter postal operations, appropriations, or broader state law, but it would affect federal records and signage associated with the property.

Sentiment

The available context suggests broad, noncontroversial support. The bill was introduced with a long list of bipartisan cosponsors from New York, and there is no recorded committee debate or vote history indicating opposition. As with many memorial naming bills, the tone appears respectful and ceremonial rather than policy-driven.

Contention

No substantive points of contention are evident in the available materials. Because the bill only renames a post office, any disagreement would likely be limited to the choice of honoree or the use of congressional time for commemorative legislation, but no such objections appear in the transcript or voting record provided. The bill’s support appears to be driven by local recognition and bipartisan sponsorship.
