This bill requires the Postmaster General to send a report to two Congressional committees about mail and package delivery in the St. Louis region. The report must cover service performance for fiscal years 2023–2025 and explain why any service in the Kansas-Missouri District lagged behind averages. It must compare on-time delivery for First-Class Mail, Marketing Mail, Priority Mail, and Ground Advantage to the national average, similarly sized districts, and prior district years. The report must analyze workforce conditions (vacancies, turnover, absenteeism, and operational impacts), assess the accuracy of delayed-mail reporting systems, and describe the status of corrective actions for deficiencies found in two 2025 Office of Inspector General audit reports. The Postmaster General must also describe management accountability systems, performance metrics, oversight structures, and steps for recruitment, retention, maintenance, and accurate reporting. The report is due within 60 days after the bill becomes law.
If you live or work in the St. Louis area, Congress will receive a detailed review of recent mail and package delivery performance and the Postal Service's efforts to fix problems found by inspectors. The report will show how the local district performed from 2023–2025, include workforce and equipment information, and list the steps taken to correct prior audit findings. This creates a formal record for Congress to use in oversight of postal operations in the region.

Supporters argue the report is needed because 2025 Office of Inspector General audits found low delivery performance, many delayed mailpieces, missed processing targets, and staffing shortfalls at the St. Louis Processing and Distribution Center and in Kansas-Missouri District delivery units. They seek a clear accounting of causes, workforce conditions, reporting accuracy, progress on corrective actions, and the accountability systems in place to prevent repeat problems.
