This bill proposes to modify the mandatory retirement age for members of the Capitol Police by amending specific sections of title 5, United States Code, pertaining to federal retirement systems. Currently, the mandatory retirement age is fixed at 60 years old under both the Civil Service Retirement System and the Federal Employees' Retirement System. The legislation grants authority to a designated Board to determine the retirement age for these officers. This new age must fall within a specified range, being not less than 57 years of age and not more than 62 years of age . This change introduces greater flexibility in managing the Capitol Police workforce's retirement timelines.
