Became Law

Summary

Gives the Capitol Police Board authority to choose retirement ages for Capitol Police members between 57 and 62. The law replaces the prior fixed age of 60 in federal retirement rules for officers covered by the Civil Service Retirement System and the Federal Employees' Retirement System. It amends 5 U.S.C. 8335(c) and 5 U.S.C. 8425(c) so the Board may set a specific retirement age for CSRS and FERS-covered Capitol Police personnel anywhere from 57 to 62.
