Federal Correctional Officer Paycheck Protection Act of 2026

Summary

The bill creates a special base‑pay rate for Bureau of Prisons correctional officers that adds 35% to the standard General Schedule or law‑enforcement rate, capped at Executive Schedule level V. It also raises wages for certain lower‑grade custodial staff by the same percentage, with the authority ending after five years unless a Justice Department Inspector General report shows progress on staffing and overtime issues.
