What this bill would do
This bill, titled the "School Resource Officer Reform Act," seeks to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968. It aims to exclude compensation from the gross income of certain qualified school resource officers. A qualified officer is defined as a retired peace officer serving as an armed school resource officer at an elementary or secondary school. Additionally, the bill seeks to make school resource officers eligible for public safety officer death benefits. These changes would affect payroll taxes and wage withholding.
