Allows the Administrator to enter into agreements with Federal agencies and State and local governments to obtain authority for officers and agents to enforce Federal, State, and local laws concurrently with other Federal, State, and local law enforcement officers.
Authorizes the Administrator of GSA to fix the rates of basic pay for officers and agents so as to enable them to be appropriately compensated in comparison to personnel performing comparable duties in other law enforcement organizations in the local labor market.
Requires the Commissioner to prescribe minimum standards of suitability for employment to be applied in the contracting of security personnel.
Expresses the sense of Congress that the number of full-time employees designated as FPS officers and agents should be maintained at 750.
