AI Summary
This bill, the Law Enforcement Officers Equity Act, aims to amend federal law to include certain federal positions within the definition of "law enforcement officer" for retirement purposes. Specifically, it expands the definition to include employees whose duties involve investigating or apprehending individuals suspected or convicted of federal crimes and who are authorized to carry firearms, as well as certain employees of the Internal Revenue Service, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The bill also includes provisions for incumbent employees who previously did not meet the criteria but would now be covered, allowing them to elect to have their prior service treated as law enforcement service for retirement purposes.
