US Federal Senate Bill SB4623

Introduced
 

Caption

A bill to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 12109 New Kent Highway in New Kent, Virginia, as the "Patricia Paige Post Office".

Summary

SB4623 is a commemorative naming bill that would rename the United States Postal Service facility at 12109 New Kent Highway in New Kent, Virginia, as the “Patricia Paige Post Office.” The bill contains a standard designation clause and a reference clause, providing that any legal, map, regulatory, or documentary reference to the facility will be understood to mean the newly named post office. The measure does not change postal operations, service levels, eligibility rules, or federal spending in any substantive way. Its legal effect is limited to the formal naming of one USPS facility and the administrative updating of references to that location in federal records and related documents.

Impact

If enacted, SB4623 would amend the official designation of a single Postal Service property in New Kent, Virginia, and require federal references to that facility to use the new honorary name. It would not create a new program or alter existing statutes beyond the naming of the post office, and its practical impact would be confined to signage, records, and ceremonial recognition.

Sentiment

Based on the bill text and the absence of recorded committee debate or votes, the bill appears to be noncontroversial and routine. Naming bills of this kind are typically supported as honorary measures recognizing an individual or community figure, and there is no indication in the available materials of opposition or partisan disagreement.

Contention

No specific points of contention are reflected in the available record. Because the bill is a simple post office naming measure, any discussion would likely center on whether Patricia Paige is an appropriate honoree and whether the location should receive the commemorative designation, but no objections, amendments, or divided votes are shown in the provided context.
