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.","displaySummary":"<p><strong>YVN Summary</strong></p>\n\n<p>The Capitol Police Board now has authority to set the mandatory retirement age for U.S. Capitol Police officers anywhere between 57 and 62, instead of the previous fixed cutoff of 60.
