Summary

The legislation changes federal law so that overtime earned by Capitol Police officers can be treated as basic pay when calculating their retirement annuities, but only for officers who have at least 15 years of service and only for overtime earned after the law takes effect. It also requires the Capitol Police to report annual data to the Office of Personnel Management. The change is intended to boost retirement benefits for long‑serving officers.
