Bill overview
This bill, the Federal Correctional Officer Paycheck Protection Act of 2026, aims to improve recruitment and retention of Federal correctional officers by increasing their pay. It establishes special base pay rates for these officers, increasing their compensation by 35% over the existing General Schedule or LEO special base rate, up to a maximum level. The bill also increases wages for certain clerical employees within the Bureau of Prisons. A review will be conducted to assess the impact of these changes on recruitment, retention, and institutional safety, with the potential for the provisions to continue if the Bureau of Prisons demonstrates progress in reducing augmentation and overtime.
