To direct the United States Postal Service to designate a single, unique ZIP Code for Fairlawn, Virginia, and for other purposes.

# HR 279 Summary **What the Bill Does** This bill would require the U.S. Postal Service to assign Fairlawn, Virginia its own unique ZIP Code, rather than sharing one with other areas. Currently, Fairlawn appears to be served by a shared or regional ZIP Code. If passed, residents and businesses in Fairlawn would have a dedicated five-digit code for their location. **Who It Affects** The bill primarily affects residents and businesses in Fairlawn, Virginia, a town in southwestern Virginia. A dedicated ZIP Code could make mail delivery more efficient and help local businesses with addressing and identification purposes.

The U.S. Postal Service would be responsible for implementing the change. **Current Status** HR 279 was introduced by Representative H. Morgan Griffith (R-Virginia) in the 119th Congress and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been voted on by the full House. The bill has not advanced beyond the initial committee stage.
