HR 2095 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
Postal Police Reform Act of 2025
To amend title 18, United States Code, to modify the role and duties of United States Postal Service police officers, and for other purposes.
Summary

It clarifies that the Postmaster General may prescribe regulations for the protection and administration of property owned or controlled by the Postal Service and for persons on that property, with these regulations to be posted in conspicuous locations. The bill specifies that violations of these regulations may result in fines under federal law, imprisonment for not more than 30 days, or both.
