Cleared committee, waiting for its first floor vote

A committee approved it and it is on the calendar of the chamber it started in.

This is further than most bills get, and still no promise of a vote: the calendar is a queue, and the majority leadership decides what is called. A bill can sit here until the Congress ends.

What this bill would do

This bill names a specific post office building after Commander Delbert Austin Olson. The building is located at 840 Front Street in Casselton, North Dakota. Once the bill passes, any official government record, map, or law must refer to this location by the new name. The text was introduced in the Senate in March 2025 and was later reported without amendment in September 2026. It is a straightforward naming measure for a single postal facility.
