                                 A BILL


 
   To provide for an overtime pay exception for protective services.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. OVERTIME PAY EXCEPTION FOR PROTECTIVE SERVICES.

    (a) Covered Employee Defined.--In this section, the term ``covered 
employee'' means any Diplomatic Security special agent who performs 
protective services for an individual or event protected by the 
Diplomatic Service.
    (b) Exception to the Limitation on Premium Pay for Protective 
Services.--Notwithstanding any other provision of law, and only to the 
extent that an appropriation is provided specifically in an 
appropriations Act for premium pay for a given calendar year in excess 
of the annual equivalent of the limitation on the rate of pay contained 
in section 5547(a) of title 5, United States Code, any covered employee 
may receive premium pay for overtime performed while conducting 
protective security functions.
    (c) Treatment of Additional Pay.--If subsection (b) results in the 
payment of additional premium pay to a covered employee of a type that 
is normally creditable as basic pay for retirement or any other 
purpose, that additional pay may not--
            (1) be considered to be basic pay of the covered employee 
        for any purpose; or
            (2) be used in computing a lump-sum payment to the covered 
        employee for accumulated and accrued annual leave.
    (d) Aggregate Limit.--With respect to the application of section 
5307 of title 5, United States Code, the payment of any additional 
premium pay to a covered employee as a result of subsection (b) shall 
not be counted as part of the aggregate compensation of the covered 
employee.
                                 <all>
