Key Points
- This bill changes the rules for when Capitol Police officers must retire from their jobs. Currently, most of these officers are required to stop working once they turn 60 years old.
- The new policy allows a governing board to set the retirement age anywhere between 57 and 62. This gives the department more room to decide when it is best for officers to finish their service.
- This change is designed to help the department manage its staff more effectively. It allows experienced officers to stay on the force for a few extra years if they are still able to do the work.
