Tustin Post Office to Be Renamed the 'Ursula Ellen Kennedy Post Office Building'

This bill is short, sweet, and purely administrative. It officially designates the United States Postal Service facility located at 340 East 1st Street in Tustin, California, as the “Ursula Ellen Kennedy Post Office Building.” If you live or work in Tustin, this is the post office you likely use for mailing packages or picking up hold requests.

What’s Changing (And What Isn’t)

In policy terms, this is a nomenclature bill—meaning it’s all about the name. The legislation mandates that any official document, map, regulation, or record generated by the U.S. Government that refers to this specific Tustin location must use the new name moving forward. For the average person dropping off a letter, nothing about the services, hours, or staff changes. This isn't about raising stamp prices or cutting delivery routes; it's a ceremonial designation to honor an individual.

The Real-World Impact: Mostly Signage

For residents and local businesses in Tustin, the main change will be the eventual replacement of the exterior signage and potentially the postmark stamp to reflect the new name. If you’re a business owner using this facility, your mailing address remains the same (340 East 1st Street), but the official name of the building changes. The bill ensures that all federal agencies maintain consistent records, which is crucial for bureaucratic clarity, even if it feels like a small detail on the ground. Since the bill is highly specific and deals only with naming a building, the impact on costs, regulations, or daily life outside of Tustin is essentially zero.
