This legislation authorizes the Attorney General to provide incentive pay for certain positions within the Department of Justice. This pay is specifically for individuals whose roles require significant cyber skills to assist in the detection, prevention, or prosecution of fentanyl trafficking. The incentive pay can amount to up to 25 percent of an individual's basic pay , contingent on the availability of appropriations. Importantly, this additional pay will not count towards aggregate pay limitations but will be considered part of basic pay for retirement benefit calculations. The legislation aims to attract and retain specialized talent to enhance the government's efforts against online fentanyl trafficking.
