Olney, Maryland Post Office Gets New Name: Honoring Edward L. Ramsey.

This bill is short, sweet, and strictly ceremonial. It officially renames the United States Postal Service facility located at 3570 Olney Laytonsville Road in Olney, Maryland, as the "Edward L. Ramsey Olney Post Office Building." The bill mandates that every existing federal reference to this address—whether it’s on maps, in regulations, or within other federal documents—must now be treated as a reference to the new, honorary name (SEC. 1).

The Real-World Impact: Mostly Paperwork

For the vast majority of people, this bill won't change your daily routine, your mail delivery schedule, or the cost of a stamp. This is what policy analysts call a "low-vagueness" bill because the action is crystal clear: change the sign and update the federal records. The mail carrier will still deliver your Amazon packages, and the lobby hours will remain the same. The only immediate, tangible change is that the facility will now carry the name of Edward L. Ramsey.

Who This Affects

The primary beneficiaries are the family and associates of Edward L. Ramsey, who receive this honorary recognition. For the rest of us, the impact is administrative. Federal agencies will need to update their internal databases, maps, and official documents to reflect the new designation, ensuring consistency across the government. Think of it as a mandatory “find and replace” action applied to official federal records. This ensures that when a federal agency references the Olney Post Office, they are using the correct, official name. Since this bill focuses entirely on renaming a single building, there are no identified negative impacts on any group, and no change to the actual postal services provided to the community.
