Summary of Bill S 2970

Bill 114 s 2970, also known as the "Law Enforcement Availability Pay Expansion Act," aims to make changes to title 5 of the United States Code in order to provide law enforcement availability pay to employees of the Air and Marine Operations division of U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

Law enforcement availability pay is a type of compensation that is provided to federal law enforcement officers who are required to work irregular hours or be on call during non-duty hours. This pay is meant to compensate these officers for the sacrifices they make in terms of their personal time and the unpredictable nature of their work schedules.

The bill seeks to extend this benefit to employees of the Air and Marine Operations division of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, recognizing the unique and important role that these individuals play in protecting our nation's borders and ensuring the safety and security of our communities. By expanding law enforcement availability pay to these employees, the bill aims to provide them with fair compensation for their dedication and hard work, and to help attract and retain talented individuals in these critical positions. Overall, the Law Enforcement Availability Pay Expansion Act is a bipartisan effort to support and recognize the contributions of the men and women who serve in the Air and Marine Operations division of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and to ensure that they are fairly compensated for their service to our country.
