Public Summary for H.R. 6995 (119th Congress)

Headline Summary: A simple bill to rename the Beaumont, Mississippi post office at 825 Highway 198 as the “Jeremy Malone Post Office.”

What It Does: The bill formally designates the specified U.S. Postal Service facility with the honorary name “Jeremy Malone Post Office.” It also clarifies that any future references in federal materials to that facility should use the new name.

• Who’s For It: Sponsored by Rep. Mike Ezell (R–MS) with cosponsors Rep. Trent Kelly (R–MS), Rep. Michael Guest (R–MS), and Rep. Bennie Thompson (D–MS), reflecting bipartisan support within Mississippi.
• Supporters’ Rationale: Honor a person named Jeremy Malone with a local connection to Beaumont by assigning his name to the town’s post office; these measures are customary ways Congress recognizes community figures.

• Who’s Against It: No formal opposition noted in the provided record.
• Opponents’ Possible Concerns: Such naming bills are symbolic and do not change postal services; critics sometimes argue Congress should prioritize more substantive legislation.

What’s Next: As of February 5, 2026, the bill has been introduced (January 9, 2026), referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and had a committee consideration/markup on February 4, 2026.
