Us Congress House Bill HB3575

Introduced
5/22/23  

Caption

To designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 7911 Imperial Highway in Downey, California, as the "Lucille Roybal-Allard Post Office Building".

Impact

The passing of HB3575 would result in an official name change for the post office, impacting signage and all formal references to the facility. The effect on state laws may be minimal given that the legislation primarily adjusts the naming convention of the postal facility rather than creating or altering laws affecting public policy or local governance. This designation serves to foster a sense of pride within the community and recognition of local leaders who have made notable contributions through their political careers.

Summary

House Bill 3575 seeks to officially designate the United States Postal Service facility located at 7911 Imperial Highway in Downey, California, as the 'Lucille Roybal-Allard Post Office Building.' This bill is a form of recognition for the contributions of Lucille Roybal-Allard, a prominent figure in California politics, whose efforts have significantly impacted the community. The measure is primarily ceremonial and aims to honor Roybal-Allard's public service and commitment to her constituents and the nation. It is a common practice in Congress to name post office buildings after esteemed individuals as a means to commemorate their achievements and legacy.

Contention

As with many bills that propose renaming public facilities, there may be discussions surrounding the selection of namesakes and the implications of honoring specific individuals. However, the text of the bill does not outline any significant points of contention or opposition, suggesting unanimous support may be anticipated given Roybal-Allard's respected status. It is common for such bills to face little opposition unless the honoree has a controversial background, which does not appear to be the case here.
