The bill would change two parts of Title 5 of the United States Code that set the retirement age for United States Capitol Police officers. It replaces the current fixed age of 60 with an age set by "the Board" that must be at least 57 and at most 65. The changes apply in both the Civil Service Retirement System (section 8335(c)) and the Federal Employees' Retirement System (section 8425(c)). The bill was introduced April 20, 2026, by Mr. Steil and Mr. Morelle and is listed as received in the Senate.
If you are a United States Capitol Police officer covered by CSRS or FERS, the Board would be able to set your mandatory retirement age anywhere between 57 and 65 instead of the fixed age of 60. The bill text names only "the Board" and does not provide additional details about how the Board would decide or change the age.
