S 4530 — 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.

Summary

This bill authorizes the Capitol Police Board to set the retirement age for Capitol Police members within a range of 57 to 62 years old, instead of the current fixed retirement age of 60. The bill modifies both the Civil Service Retirement System and the Federal Employees' Retirement System to allow for this flexible retirement age. The Capitol Police Board will have the authority to determine the specific retirement age within the 57-to-62 range.
