Will raise salaries for Bureau of Prisons law enforcement officers.
Occurrences
Evidence
Shaheen said she is offering an amendment in line with her Federal Correctional Officer Paycheck Protection Act that would increase salaries for Bureau of Prisons law enforcement officers nationwide.
Congress.gov shows S.3626 was introduced by Shaheen and McCormick on January 13, 2026; the latest action is that it was read twice and referred to the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. The bill text would increase the base rate for federal correctional officers by 35 percent.
Congress.gov lists Sen. Jeanne Shaheen as sponsor, shows the bill was introduced on 2026-01-13, and says the latest action was referral to the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs; the bill status remains Introduced.
The bill text would create a special base rate of pay for federal correctional officers and says covered Bureau of Prisons employees' wage rates "shall" be increased by 35 percent.
Assessments
Shaheen materially pursued the promised pay increase by introducing the Federal Correctional Officer Paycheck Protection Act of 2026 and offering a related amendment to raise Bureau of Prisons officer pay. But the available record shows the bill remained introduced and referred to committee, with no enactment or implemented salary increase. Under the scoring rule, a serious legislative effort that did not achieve the promised outcome counts as never, with effort credit.
Shaheen materially advanced a BOP officer pay raise by introducing S.3626 and offering a related amendment, but the evidence shows no enactment or completed salary increase. That is a serious attempt, but the promised outcome was not delivered.
