H.R. 2522 would name a section of 18th Street Northwest in Washington, D.C., “Jimmy Lai Way.” It would also rename 1520 18th Street Northwest as 1 Jimmy Lai Way Northwest and require the General Services Administration to put up signs. The bill condemns Jimmy Lai’s imprisonment in Hong Kong and urges U.S. and international officials to seek his release and address human rights concerns. It also says the Postmaster General should deliver certain mail addressed to Hong Kong Economic and Trade Offices in San Francisco or New York. The bill was introduced and referred to House committees; it has not been enacted.
If enacted, the street name and address would change in federal records, and signs would be installed at specified locations. The bill also expresses Congress’s view that the Postmaster General should deliver mail addressed to the listed offices using “1 Jimmy Lai Way.”
