Pay Our Capitol Police Act

HR 5924, the Pay Our Capitol Police Act, ensures that U.S. Capitol Police officers, civilian staff, and supporting contractors continue receiving pay and benefits during a funding gap for fiscal year 2026. It appropriates temporary funds for salaries, overtime, hazard pay, health benefits, retirement contributions, and contractor payments if regular appropriations aren't enacted by September 30, 2026. These funds are charged to future appropriations once regular funding is approved, preventing pay delays for Capitol Police personnel. The bill directly affects Capitol Police members classified as excepted employees or performing emergency work, along with their supporting staff and contractors. It applies specifically to the Capitol Police during the fiscal year 2026 funding period.
