Capitol Police officers must normally leave the force at 57. The Capitol Police Board can already let some stay on longer, and this bill would let it extend them to as late as 65.
More about this bill
Most people would see no change in daily life. The change affects one group: the officers who guard the U.S. Capitol. Capitol Police officers must normally retire at 57. The Capitol Police Board, the panel that runs the force, can already let an officer stay on past that age. Under this bill, the Board could let an officer stay as late as 65. The Board would pick the exact cutoff, anywhere from 57 to 65. Officers in both federal retirement plans, the older and the newer, would be covered.
Congressional Summary
This bill authorizes the Capitol Police Board to waive the mandatory retirement age for members of the Capitol Police up to age 65. (Under current law, a member of the Capitol Police is generally subject to mandatory retirement at age 57 but may receive a waiver from the board authorizing later retirement up to age 60.)
