Plain-English Summary
The Postal Service would be allowed to continue selling special stamps that cost more than regular postage, with the extra money going to breast cancer research organizations. These stamps, called semipostals, have been used before for other causes and let people support medical research simply by choosing to buy them instead of regular stamps. The bill extends the program so the Postal Service can keep issuing breast cancer research stamps beyond the current expiration date.
