Border Patrol Supervisors Retention Act
United States119th CongressHR-6439House of Representatives
Updated: Dec 4, 2025
Summary
This legislative proposal aims to broaden the eligibility for special overtime compensation for certain U.S. Border Patrol agents. It specifically amends section 5550(h) of title 5, United States Code, which governs regularly scheduled overtime pay. The amendment changes the eligibility criteria from exclusively covering "GS-12 Border Patrol Agents" to now include "Border Patrol Agents Classified From Grade GS-12 Through GS-15." This expansion means that agents in supervisory or higher-graded positions, up to GS-15 , would become eligible for the special overtime pay that was previously restricted to GS-12 agents. The bill's intent is to enhance the retention of these higher-graded Border Patrol personnel by extending financial incentives.
