To repeal the limitation on locality-based comparability adjustments affecting the United States Secret Service Uniformed Division and the United States Park Police.
Summary
H.R. 4809 is a legislative proposal designed to change how pay is calculated for officers in the United States Secret Service Uniformed Division and the United States Park Police. The bill seeks to remove a specific legal cap that has frozen "locality pay"—adjustments made to reflect the cost of living in different geographic areas—at year 2000 levels for these officers.
If enacted, this change would allow these law enforcement officers to receive the same cost-of-living salary adjustments as other federal employees working in expensive metropolitan areas. By ensuring more competitive wages, the bill aims to improve the recruitment and retention of officers responsible for protecting national landmarks and ensuring the security of the White House and other federal grounds.
