Border Patrol Supervisors Retention Act
This bill amends federal pay rules to expand eligibility for higher overtime rates to U.S. Border Patrol agents in grades GS-12 through GS-15. It directly affects these supervisory agents by allowing them to receive increased overtime pay previously only available to GS-12 agents. The key change modifies the pay code wording to remove the "GS-12" restriction, making all agents in that pay range eligible. This is a concrete policy change to improve retention for supervisory Border Patrol staff. The bill does not alter base pay or other benefits, only the overtime compensation structure for specific grades.
