The bill proposes raising the retirement age for United States Capitol Police officers. It seeks to amend the Civil Service Retirement System and Federal Employees’ Retirement System by changing the retirement age language from "60 years of age" to "an age determined by the Board" within the range of 57 to 65 years of age. If passed, this change will directly impact the retirement eligibility and benefits of United States Capitol Police officers.
This bill authorizes the Capitol Police Board to waive the mandatory retirement age for members of the Capitol Police up to age 65. (Under current law, a member of the Capitol Police is generally subject to mandatory retirement at age 57 but may receive a waiver from the board authorizing later retirement up to age 60.)
