This week the American Catalog Mailers Association (ACMA) Announced that President Biden signed the Postal Reform Act into law.

Here is an excerpt from the announcement:

President Biden just signed (at right) the Postal Service Reform Act into law in a small ceremony in front of government officials. As many of you know, this marks the completion of a 12-year effort in which ACMA staff, both on our own and in conjunction with the broader mailing Coalition for a 21st Century Postal Service, relentlessly pursued this vital law.

We didn’t go it alone. Many ACMA members and others were instrumental in communicating with both your House and Senate Members how vitally important a properly operating Postal Service is to your future.

Like a boxer bouncing off the canvas over multiple rounds, our efforts spanned over six Congresses. We shot down some really ill-considered ideas and overall, we did not get all we needed on gaining better control of postage increases. However, this bill dropped a 2.15% one-time increase that was in previous versions of this bill, a major achievement.

Look for us to turn to you for help in the future, as we’ll continue working toward gaining greater control of future rate hikes.
