PERFORM Act Postal Executive Responsibility, Fiscal Oversight,...
A bill to amend title 39, United States Code, to limit bonuses to the Postmaster General, and for other purposes.
This bill, SB5209, proposes to change the rules about bonuses for the Postmaster General, who is the head of the United States Postal Service (USPS). The main goal is to place limits on the bonuses that the Postmaster General can receive. This change aims to ensure that bonuses are awarded fairly and are tied to performance and other important factors.
The bill would directly affect the Postmaster General and the USPS, potentially changing how bonuses are given out. This could impact the overall management and performance of the Postal Service. The changes might also influence how future Postmaster Generals are incentivized and rewarded.
SB5209 was introduced on August 3, 2026, and was immediately referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. This is the first step in the legislative process, and it will be reviewed and possibly amended by this committee before any further action is taken.
