The bill renames the U.S. Postal Service building at 306 South Main Street in Waupaca, Wisconsin, as the "Master Sergeant Melvin O. Handrich Post Office Building." It also requires that any future official references to the building in laws, maps, documents, or records use the new name.
Residents of Waupaca who use this post office are affected, along with anyone referencing the building in official documents going forward. Wisconsin's congressional delegation sponsored the bill.
The change is symbolic and does not alter the post office's operations, services, or management. It formally honors Handrich's military service through the building's official name.
