A bill to amend title 38, United States Code, to limit the circumstances in which the Postal Service may close post offices serving rural areas and small communities and towns.

Prohibits the closing of a post office serving a rural area or small town solely on the basis that such post office is operating at a deficit unless: (1) the Postal Service determines that equivalent or improved services will be provided either by a city, rural, or star route carrier or by another postal facility; and (2) a survey of persons using the post office which the Postal Service proposes to close indicates that a majority of the persons responding do not oppose such closing.
