Bill Overview
Title: To change the address of the Marilyn Monroe Post Office, and for other purposes.
Description: This bill changes the address of the Marilyn Monroe Post Office Building in Van Nuys, California.
Sponsors: Rep. Cárdenas, Tony [D-CA-29]
Target Audience
Population: People using the Marilyn Monroe Post Office in Van Nuys, California
Estimated Size: 100000
- The Marilyn Monroe Post Office is a single post office building located in Van Nuys, California.
- This post office serves the local community, so any change in its address primarily affects local residents and businesses.
- There are approximately 1.6 million USPS employees overall, some of whom might need to update their records to reflect this change but are not directly impacted in their day-to-day activities.
- Van Nuys is part of the larger Los Angeles metropolitan area, but only a fraction of these residents directly use this particular post office location.
Reasoning
- Given the scope of the policy, the affected population is primarily locals frequenting the Marilyn Monroe Post Office.
- We expect negligible impact on Self-Reported Wellbeing at broader regional or national levels, suggesting highly localized impact.
- The population size directly impacted by this address change is small relative to common population groups.
- Communities within Van Nuys or businesses relying on this post office might experience minor inconveniences due to address updates.
- The $10,000 budget in year 1 primarily covers administrative costs associated with address changes, not direct impacts on people's lives.
