Summary
Gives the Board authority to set the retirement age for United States Capitol Police officers between 57 and 65.

Board-set retirement age for Capitol Police
This bill would let the Capitol Police Board set a mandatory retirement age between 57 and 65. It would replace the current age‑60 rule for CSRS and FERS officers. If the Board sets an age above 60, officers would work longer and pension checks would start later. If the Board sets 57–59, some officers would be able to retire earlier. Other retirement rules would stay the same, and the bill text does not say when the change would start.
