A bill to amend chapters 83 and 84 of title 5, United States Code, to authorize an increase of the retirement age for members of the Capitol Police.

This law lets the Capitol Police Board raise the age at which Capitol Police officers must retire, allowing them to work up to age 62 instead of the usual retirement age of 57. Before this law, the board could only let officers stay on until age 60, but now they can set a retirement age anywhere between 57 and 62 if they decide it serves the public interest.
