HR 6810 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.
To direct certain heads of Federal agencies to develop a strategy to improve Federal investigations of organized postal theft, and for other purposes.
Summary

The agencies must improve information sharing about postal crime networks and provide support to state and local law enforcement in prosecuting organized postal crimes. The bill also directs the Comptroller General to publish a report within one year on how the private sector and law enforcement coordinate to deter and investigate organized postal theft. Federal agencies must submit a joint report to Congress describing their coordination strategy.
