Postal check bill would turn money into government backed mailable checks
The bill, sponsored by Senator McMillan and Representative Lentz, proposes printing existing $1 $2 and $5 notes with blank spaces to convert them into checks. Senders would write the address and affix postage, turning money into a government check for mail. The system aims to replace money orders, cut trips to the post office, and may raise postal revenues. Fractional currency from 5 to 50 cents would follow the same method.
