The Border Patrol Overtime Parity Act aims to expand eligibility for certain overtime pay for federal border patrol agents. This legislation specifically amends Section 5550(h) of title 5, United States Code, which governs overtime compensation for these personnel. The key change involves removing the grade GS-12 restriction for eligibility. By striking references to "GS-12" from the relevant statute, the bill ensures that border patrol agents at various pay grades, not just GS-12, can qualify for the specified overtime benefits, thereby broadening access to this compensation.
