Plain-English Summary

The Postal Service would be allowed to continue selling special postage stamps that cost more than regular stamps, with the extra money going to breast cancer research organizations. These stamps, called semipostals, have been used before for charitable causes and this bill would extend the authority to keep issuing them for this specific health cause. The additional revenue from people voluntarily buying these stamps would support medical research aimed at fighting breast cancer.
