Mississippi Post Office Renamed: Beaumont Facility Will Now Be the 'Jeremy Malone Post Office'

This bill is short, sweet, and strictly administrative: it officially renames the United States Postal Service facility located at 825 Highway 198 in Beaumont, Mississippi, as the "Jeremy Malone Post Office." That's the main event. Beyond the name change itself, the bill mandates that every piece of federal paperwork—from maps and regulations to official records—must use this new designation going forward. Essentially, the old name is officially scrubbed from the federal database for this location.

The Administrative Update

For most people, this is purely a ceremonial move. If you live in Beaumont, your mail service isn't changing, your postage rates aren't changing, and the hours of operation aren't changing. This type of legislation is a way to honor individuals, in this case, Jeremy Malone, by permanently associating their name with a federal landmark. The impact is primarily felt by Malone's family and the local community who now have a permanent tribute in the form of a post office name.

What it Means for the Rest of Us

Since this is an administrative change for one specific building, the real-world impact on the average person outside of Beaumont is zero. There are no new costs, no changes to postal regulations, and no shifts in service delivery. The only practical effect is a minor administrative task for the USPS and other federal agencies: they now need to update their internal documents and maps to reflect the new name. If you were a federal cartographer, this would be on your to-do list, but for everyone else, you can keep sending your mail exactly as you do now. It’s a clean, low-vague piece of legislation that achieves its singular, commemorative goal without adding complexity or cost to the system.
