                              May 4, 1999

   referred to the Committee on Education and the Workforce, and in 
    addition to the Committee on the Judiciary, for a period to be 
subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration 
  of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee 
                               concerned

                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
  Expressing the sense of Congress that State earnings limitations on 
  retired law enforcement officers be lifted to enhance school safety.

Whereas school violence in the United States is a growing concern of all 
        Americans;
Whereas our schools should be a safe haven for the pursuit of the education our 
        children will need to succeed in life, rather than places of fear and 
        violence;
Whereas Government has an obligation to provide parents, children, and 
        communities with the resources necessary to prevent school violence;
Whereas a comprehensive program to prevent school violence should include an 
        increase in the day-to-day presence of security officers in schools;
Whereas police officers who have daily risked their lives to provide for the 
        safety of the general public are willing to continue to serve even after 
        retirement; and
Whereas several States have placed earnings limits on retired police officers 
        which needlessly restrict those retired officers' involvement in 
        providing for safer schools: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That it is the sense of Congress that States should be encouraged to 
lift earnings limitations on retired State law enforcement officers in 
order to enhance public safety and increase the day-to-day security in 
our schools.
