Authorization to Increase Retirement Age for Member of the Capitol Police
Section 1 · Sec. 1 ·
What this chapter is about
This law changes when some Capitol Police officers must stop working. The old rule said age 60. Now a board picks the age. The board must pick an age from 57 to 62.

What the document 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".”
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".”
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.

What the document says
“Section 8425(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".”
Subsection (b). It makes the same replacement in section 8425(c) of title 5, United States Code: the words "becomes 60 years of age" are struck and words setting an age determined by the Board, no lower than 57 and no higher than 62, are inserted.
What the document actually says
“Section 8425(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".”
That sentence, in plain words
This part crosses out the same old words. It writes in the same new words. A board picks the age, from 57 to 62.
What this is about
The same change is made in a second spot in the law. That spot is about a newer plan for federal workers. The plan is known as FERS.
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.
Both subsections of the law's only section: the amendment to section 8335(c) of title 5, United States Code, and the matching amendment to section 8425(c) of the same title.
Nothing in the section is left out. The approval line and the legislative history the Government Publishing Office prints after the section are held out of the indexed text.
The section works entirely by amending title 5 of the United States Code. That title is not indexed here, so the site does not record what sections 8335(c) and 8425(c) said before this law or read after it. The words this law inserts refer to "the Board" without naming it, and this law does not define the term.
