US President Enacts Retirement Age Increase for Capitol Police
The White House confirms Congressional Bill S. 4530 has been enacted, authorising a change to the retirement age for members of the United States Capitol Police.
The President of the United States signed Congressional Bill S. 4530 into law on Friday, 29 May 2026, according to a statement from the White House Briefings & Statements feed. The legislation formally authorises an increase in the retirement age for members of the United States Capitol Police.
The United States Capitol Police serves as the federal law enforcement agency tasked with the security of the United States Capitol complex. This legislative adjustment marks a structural change to the personnel policies governing the agency’s retirement framework.
The official announcement confirms the enactment of S. 4530 but does not provide specific details regarding the magnitude of the age increase. The source material does not specify the new retirement age or the number of years by which the limit has been raised.
Furthermore, the White House statement does not outline the implementation timeline for the new policy. There is no information provided regarding transitional provisions for current officers or whether the changes apply retroactively or solely to future hires.
The signing of this domestic security legislation occurred independently of other geopolitical developments reported in the same period. While separate briefings have noted US military strikes on Iranian targets and ceasefire talks in Doha, these events are unrelated to the enactment of Bill S. 4530.
The White House confirmed the signing via its standard Briefings & Statements channel, categorising the action under Presidential Actions. The legislation is now law, altering the retirement parameters for the Capitol Police force.
