Bill Summary
A BILL To amend title 5, United States Code, to include certain Federal positions within the definition of law enforcement officer for retirement purposes, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, the Law Enforcement Officers Equity Act, seeks to amend federal law to include certain additional federal positions within the definition of "law enforcement officer" for the purposes of retirement. Specifically, it would expand the definition to include employees involved in the investigation or apprehension of criminal suspects, Internal Revenue Service employees responsible for collecting delinquent taxes and securing delinquent returns, U.S. Postal Inspection Service employees, Department of Veterans Affairs police officers, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection seized property specialists. The bill also provides a process for incumbent law enforcement officers to elect to have their prior service treated as law enforcement service for retirement purposes, including requiring the government to make up the difference in contributions. Additionally, the bill exempts law enforcement officers from mandatory separation for a 3-year period after the bill's enactment.
