Not later than 1 year after the date of enactment of this Act, the United States Postal Service shall designate a single, unique ZIP Code
Fetched verbatim passage. AI summary (separate from source): The bill text directly matches the commitment by requiring USPS to designate unique ZIP Codes after enactment; because it is only introduced, the requirement has not taken effect.

Fetched verbatim passage. AI summary (separate from source): A Senate counterpart was reported favorably shortly before the lookback window, but the record still shows committee advancement rather than enacted law.
Public state: pendingAs of 2026-09-14 · verified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): unresolved.same_termA for effort
The verified bill text would require USPS to designate a unique ZIP Code only after enactment, but the verified status evidence shows legislative progress rather than enactment: related ZIP Code legislation passed the House and was received/referred in the Senate. Because the promised outcome was enactment/ZIP Code designation, not merely introduction or House passage, and no deadline has expired, the outcome remains unresolved. Diaz-Balart is materially tied to the commitment as the sponsor/context candidate, so effort is credited but delivery is not.
