Read twice and referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.
This bill would let more U.S. Border Patrol supervisors qualify for special overtime pay. Right now, only those at one pay grade (GS-12) are clearly covered. The bill expands that to include agents from GS-12 through GS-15, which are higher supervisory levels. This aims to keep experienced leaders on the job by paying them fairly for regularly scheduled overtime work .
| Who is affected | What changes | Why it matters | When |
|---|---|---|---|
| U.S. Border Patrol agents at grades GS-12 to GS-15 | They become eligible for higher rates of regularly scheduled overtime pay | Could improve pay for supervisors who work extra hours and help with retention | The text changes the coverage to GS-12 through GS-15; no start date is stated in the summary provided |
