Waianae Postal Facility to be Renamed for Former Representative Colleen Hanabusa

This bill is a straightforward administrative move to rename the U.S. Postal Service facility located at 86-014 Farrington Highway in Waianae, Hawaii. The legislation designates this specific building as the 'U.S. Representative Colleen Hanabusa Post Office Building.' It is a standard honorific action that officially updates the identity of a local landmark to recognize the former congresswoman’s service.

Putting a Name on the Map

While the day-to-day operations of the post office won’t change—your mail will still arrive the same way and the counter hours will remain as they are—the legal identity of the building undergoes a total shift. Section 1 of the bill mandates that any reference to this facility in U.S. laws, maps, regulations, or official documents must now use the new name. For the average person, this mostly means seeing a new plaque on the building or noticing a change in how the location is listed on official government websites and federal directories.

Administrative Housekeeping

Because the bill has a low level of vagueness, the rollout is simple: once enacted, the name change is permanent and legally binding for all federal record-keeping. Whether you are a local business owner checking a federal address registry or a resident navigating local maps, the 'Waianae Post Office' at this address will officially become the 'Colleen Hanabusa Building.' It’s a clean-cut piece of legislation with no hidden fees, regulatory hurdles, or complex implementation phases for the public to worry about.
