## Summary

**This bill would create a fixed, step-based pay schedule for the U.S. Park Police and compress career pay progression.** It reorganizes compensation into salary classes and a 13-step framework with set years of service and set time between steps. - Park Police officers and specialists would move onto the new 13-step schedule with step intervals of 52 or 104 weeks.
