Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would count certain overtime pay earned by members of the U.S. Capitol Police as basic pay when calculating their federal retirement annuities. The overtime counted would be capped at 50 percent of the yearly legal maximum for customs officer overtime pay, and only overtime received on or after the law takes effect would count. For a regular retirement annuity, the overtime would count only if the officer has at least 15 years of service before leaving. The overtime would also count toward disability annuities and survivor annuities for officers who die while still serving, and the Capitol Police would have to send yearly information to the Office of Personnel Management to carry out the law.
