The Border Patrol Supervisors Retention Act expands eligibility for special overtime pay to U.S. Border Patrol agents who hold supervisory positions classified at grades GS-13 through GS-15. Currently, only Border Patrol agents at grade GS-12 qualify for this overtime compensation. The bill modifies federal law to allow higher-ranking supervisors to also receive these special overtime rates, which is intended to improve retention of experienced personnel in senior positions. The legislation does not specify new funding or an implementation timeline beyond the statutory changes required. This change affects Border Patrol supervisory staff at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security who manage frontline operations.
