Description: Designates the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 1663 East Date Place in San Bernardino, California, as the "Dr. Margaret B. Hill Post Office Building."
Sponsors: Rep. Aguilar, Pete [D-CA-31]
Target Audience
Population: People in San Bernardino impacted by the newly designated post office
Estimated Size: 9000
- The designation of a post office facility typically affects the local community directly associated with the facility.
- This particular designation honors an individual, which may have cultural or symbolic importance to those familiar with Dr. Margaret B. Hill.
- The primary population impacted includes those residing or working in or near the San Bernardino area where the post office is located.
- There is minimal direct impact on individuals outside of this local area, as it does not change postal services or operations.
Reasoning
- Given the nature of this policy, which redesignates a post office building, the immediate and direct impact is likely to be largely symbolic and cultural rather than functional.
- The budget for this policy does not accommodate significant changes or impacts beyond the renaming itself, considering this is a simple renaming without extensive physical alterations or service changes.
- The population impacted includes individuals who reside in San Bernardino, particularly those who are familiar with or have an attachment to Dr. Margaret B. Hill, possibly through educational or community ties.
- We expect the Cantril wellbeing scores to remain largely unchanged, except for individuals who might have a personal connection to Dr. Hill or those who value such symbolic gestures in their community.
- The impact on wellbeing is anticipated to be low because the policy does not alter service levels, economic opportunities, or other substantial aspects of daily life.

- Such actions do not induce legislative or economic ramifications beyond the immediate costs of signage and administrative updates.
