Public Summary — H.R. 6399 (119th): Single, unique ZIP Code for Highland City, Utah

Headline Summary
Give Highland City its own ZIP code to reduce address mix-ups and make mail and package delivery clearer.

What It Does: The bill directs the U.S. Postal Service to assign a single, unique ZIP code that applies only to Highland City, Utah, and to do so no later than 270 days after the bill becomes law.

  • Why it matters: A distinct ZIP code can help cut mailing and delivery confusion, make online address forms recognize the city correctly, and simplify how residents, businesses, and local services identify addresses.
  • It’s a targeted, local change; it doesn’t alter city boundaries or other government jurisdictions.
  • Who’s For It:
  • - The sponsor, Rep. Mike Kennedy (R–UT), who introduced the bill on December 3, 2025.
  • - Highland City residents and local officials are the intended beneficiaries, though formal supporter lists are not provided in the text.
  • Who’s Against It:
  • - No formal opposition is noted in the provided record.
  • - Potential concerns typically raised with one-off ZIP code mandates include added administrative work for USPS and the precedent of Congress directing specific postal routing decisions.

What’s Next: The bill was referred to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on December 3, 2025, and a committee consideration and mark-up session was held on March 18, 2026. The next steps would be a committee vote to report the bill, possible House floor consideration, then Senate action, and finally the President’s signature for it to become law.

Implementation deadline
270days after enactment
