Requires the United States Postal Service to assign a single, unique ZIP Code to each of eight named communities within 270 days of enactment. The eight communities named are Eastvale (CA); Scotland (CT); Cooper City (FL); Miami Lakes (FL); Ocoee (FL); Village of Estero (FL); Urbandale (IA); and Mills (WY). The measure imposes a specific operational requirement on USPS to create and designate separate ZIP Codes for those communities, affecting local addressing, mail sorting, and mailing costs for residents, businesses, and local governments in those places.
