This legislation, titled the Border Patrol Supervisors Retention Act , seeks to broaden the eligibility for special overtime pay among U.S. Border Patrol agents. Currently, only agents at grade GS-12 are eligible for these specific higher rates of regularly scheduled overtime. The bill proposes a significant amendment to section 5550(h) of title 5, United States Code, to modify this restriction. The amendment would expand eligibility to include all Border Patrol agents classified from grade GS-12 through GS-15 . This change aims to provide enhanced compensation and improve retention for a wider spectrum of Border Patrol personnel, including those in more senior or supervisory positions.
