What does this do?
HR 4248, the "School Resource Officer Reform Act," would exclude from federal income taxes the pay of retired law enforcement officers who return to work as armed school resource officers, also exempting it from Social Security, Medicare, and withholding taxes. It would also add "school resource officer" to jobs covered by the federal Public Safety Officers' Benefits program, which pays families of public safety workers killed or seriously injured on duty.
Who does it affect?
Retired police officers who take armed school resource officer jobs, and their families, would be directly affected. School districts that employ these officers could also be affected.
Why does it matter?
The tax exclusion could make school resource officer positions more financially attractive to retired law enforcement officers, potentially affecting hiring at school districts.
