This law replaces the fixed mandatory retirement age of 60 for U.S. Capitol Police officers with a flexible range of 57 to 62. The Capitol Police Board now has authority to set the specific retirement age within that range. The change applies under both main federal retirement systems, covering essentially all Capitol Police members.
This law directly affects U.S. Capitol Police officers and the Capitol Police Board, which oversees the force. It does not apply to other federal law enforcement agencies or to the general public.
Officers may now be required to retire up to three years earlier or two years later than the previous fixed age of 60, depending on what the Board decides. The mandatory retirement age for Capitol Police is no longer set by federal law but is instead subject to the Board's discretion within the defined range.
