The purpose of this legislation is to improve the recruitment and retention of Federal correctional officers. It aims to address challenges faced by these officers, such as high turnover rates and difficulties in attracting new personnel, by enhancing their pay structure. Key provisions of the legislation include the establishment of special base pay rates for Federal correctional officers. This new pay structure will provide these officers with a salary that is 35 percent higher than the standard General Schedule base rate or the Law Enforcement Officer (LEO) special base rate.
