Summary

What the bill does

This bill lets the Capitol Police Board set a retirement age for officers between 57 and 65, instead of the current fixed age of 60. It applies to both the Civil Service Retirement System and the Federal Employees' Retirement System.

Why it matters

The stakes

Capitol Police officers protect the U.S. Capitol and its occupants. Changing the retirement age could affect how long officers serve and how the force manages staffing and experience.
