Summary
What This Bill Does
This bill extends through 2028 the authority for the U.S. Secret Service to pay overtime to employees beyond the usual statutory caps. It clarifies that routine administrative work does not qualify for this overtime exception. The bill also requires the Secret Service Director to submit multiple reports to Congress on staffing levels, operational demands, and strategies to reduce overtime needs.
Who Benefits and How
Secret Service employees benefit by remaining eligible to receive overtime compensation above normal federal pay limits when performing protective duties. This helps retain experienced personnel and compensate agents for demanding protection assignments.
Who Bears the Burden and How
The U.S. Secret Service and Department of Homeland Security face new reporting requirements, including a 180-day report on addressing increased demands and quarterly/annual reports on staffing projections through 2029. Taxpayers bear the cost of the increased overtime payments.
Key Provisions
- Extends overtime pay exception for Secret Service protective services from 2023 to 2028
- Excludes routine administrative or technical work from the definition of protective services eligible for overtime exception
- Requires Director to report to Congress on strategies for reducing overtime and improving staffing levels
