The purpose of this legislative text is to enhance the recruitment and retention of federal correctional officers by providing them with special pay rates. The aim is to address staffing challenges within the Bureau of Prisons, ensuring that these officers are adequately compensated for their demanding roles. Key provisions of the legislation include the establishment of special base pay rates for federal correctional officers. These rates will be set at 35 percent higher than the standard General Schedule base pay or law enforcement officer special pay rates.
