“Section 8335(c) of title 5, United States Code, is amended by striking "becomes 60 years of age" and inserting "attains an age determined by the Board, which shall be not less than 57 years of age and not more than 62 years of age".”

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, Sec. 1

Subsection (a). It amends section 8335(c) of title 5, United States Code, replacing the words "becomes 60 years of age" with words that make the age one determined by the Board, no lower than 57 and no higher than 62. The struck and inserted words are the ones quoted.

What the document actually says

“Section 8335(c) of title 5, United States Code, is amended by striking "becomes 60 years of age" and inserting "attains an age determined by the Board, which shall be not less than 57 years of age and not more than 62 years of age".”

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, Sec. 1
That sentence, in plain words

This part crosses out the words "becomes 60 years of age." It writes in new words. The new words say a board picks the age. The age must be at least 57. It can be no more than 62.

What this is about

The change is made to one part of a big book of federal law. That part is about an old plan that pays workers after they stop working. The plan is known as CSRS.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
