## 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.
