Summary

This bill mandates the United States Postal Service to designate a single, unique ZIP Code for Fairlawn, Virginia , within 180 days of the Act's enactment. The legislation addresses a problem where sales tax collected from electronic commerce in Fairlawn, an unincorporated community in Pulaski County, is often misallocated to the independent city of Radford, Virginia. This misallocation occurs because Fairlawn currently shares a ZIP Code with Radford. The bill's "Sense of Congress" highlights that Virginia's independent cities have distinct revenue collection and distribution practices from surrounding counties. Therefore, a separate ZIP Code is deemed crucial for accurate tax purposes and proper revenue distribution for Fairlawn.
