The U.S. Park Police Modernization Act restructures the pay system for U.S. Park Police officers and members by condensing their salary progression steps and adjusting the time between pay increases. Currently, officers progress through multiple pay steps over many years, but this bill reduces the number of steps and changes the timing, with officers advancing every 52 weeks initially and then every 104 or 156 weeks at higher steps, rather than the previous schedule. The legislation also sets new base salary amounts for all ranks, from private officers earning around $54,866 to the police chief at $180,000. The changes take effect immediately upon the bill's enactment and apply to all current and future U.S. Park Police employees. No specific appropriations are mentioned, as the bill modifies existing salary authorities rather than creating new funding requirements.
