To designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 130 South Patterson Avenue in Santa Barbara, California, as the "Brigadier General Frederick R. Lopez Post Office Building".
Summary
H.R. 2175 would designate the United States Postal Service facility located at 130 South Patterson Avenue in Santa Barbara, California, as the Brigadier General Frederick R. Lopez Post Office Building. This is a commemorative measure that honors a military officer by naming a federal building after him.
The bill passed the House of Representatives and was received in the Senate on December 10, 2025, where it has been referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs for consideration. The Senate committee will review the proposal before determining whether to advance it for a full Senate vote.
If enacted, this bill would have minimal practical impact on everyday citizens. The primary effect would be a change to the official name of the post office building in Santa Barbara. Citizens using that postal facility would see the new name on the building and in official postal service documentation. The renaming itself would not alter the services provided or operations of the post office.
