Bill Summary
This legislation aims to designate a specific building, located at 1050 Sunset Road Southwest in Albuquerque, New Mexico, as the "Jose Hernandez Post Office Building." This means that the building will now officially be recognized and referred to by this name. This legislation also states that any existing laws, maps, regulations, or documents that refer to the building will be updated to reflect this new name. The purpose of this legislation is to honor and commemorate Jose Hernandez by naming a postal service building after him.
Possible Impacts
1. This legislation could honor and bring recognition to the accomplishments and contributions of Jose Hernandez, potentially inspiring others to follow in his footsteps.
2. It may also bring a sense of pride and identity to the community in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where the post office is located.
3. The renaming of the post office could also have financial implications, as it may require changes to official documents, signage, and other materials that reference the post office's previous name. This could potentially impose costs on the postal service and taxpayers.
