On June 13, 2023, Senator Richard Roth’s Senate Joint Resolution (SJR) 3 passed both houses of the State Legislature and made its way to Governor Gavin Newsom’s desk. This bill, co-sponsored with the support of Assemblymember Sabrina Cervantes and Bill Essayli, urges Congress and the president to provide the City of Eastvale its own ZIP code.
The City of Eastvale is proud to announce that Governor Gavin Newsom signed SJR 3 on June 20, 2023, symbolizing the State of California’s official support of Eastvale’s independent ZIP code advocacy efforts. Shortly after, Mayor Todd Rigby, Mayor Pro Tem Christian Dinco and members of the City team headed to Washington D.C. to speak with members of Congress regarding the issue.
Eastvale’s residents and businesses face extensive real-world issues because the City’s ZIP codes do not match its municipal boundaries. Issues discussed include emergency management, public safety, business attraction, mail delivery and insurance policies. The City’s hope is that Congress and the president would consider the State of California’s support and recent discussions and would allow Eastvale to receive its own ZIP code. There are currently two congressional bills aimed at providing Eastvale an independent ZIP code, including H.R. 696 and H.R. 860. Eastvale also established a National ZIP Code Advocacy Work Group with municipalities across the nation that experience similar ZIP code issues.
The City of Eastvale expresses its utmost gratitude to Governor Gavin Newsom, Senator Richard Roth and Assemblymembers Sabrina Cervantes and Bill Essayli for their efforts and support. To learn more about Eastvale’s ZIP code advocacy efforts, please visit https://www.eastvaleca.gov/
