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.
Sponsor: Sen. McConnell, Mitch (R-KY)1 cosponsorIntroduced May 14, 2026
✆
In plain English
The Capitol Police Board can now extend the mandatory retirement age for Capitol Police members to up to age 62 when the board determines it serves the public interest, raising the previous waiver cap of age 60. Under current law, Capitol Police members face mandatory retirement at age 57 or after 20 years of service if older than 57; this bill allows the board to issue waivers specifying any retirement age between 57 and 62. Sponsor: Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY). The bill became law on May 29, 2026.
