HR 8364 · Passed House · 04-28-26
To amend title 5, United States Code, to authorize the increase of the retirement age in the United States Capitol Police.
What does the HR 8364 do?
HR 8364 is a House bill sponsored by Rep. Bryan Steil (R-WI). Capitol Police officers currently face mandatory retirement at age 60. This bill replaces that fixed age with a range, letting the Capitol Police Board set the mandatory retirement age at any point between 57 and 65 — giving it more flexibility to retain experienced officers beyond the current 60-year cap. Raises the Capitol Police Board's maximum retirement age waiver from 60 to 65, letting the Board keep experienced officers working longer.
