Official summary
Written by the Congressional Research Service (CRS), Library of Congress for the version “Public Law”, May 29, 2026. Reproduced verbatim.
This act authorizes the Capitol Police Board to increase the mandatory retirement age for a member of the Capitol Police to up to age 62 when the board determines such waiver is in the public interest.
Under current law, members of the Capitol Police are generally subject to mandatory retirement at (1) age 57; or (2) upon completing 20 years of service if the member is older than 57. Previously, a waiver from the board would authorize a member to continue working until age 60.
The act authorizes the board to issue a waiver specifying a retirement age between 57 and 62.
