To provide for an overtime pay exception for protective services.

HR 6218 allows Diplomatic Security special agents (who protect diplomats and events) to receive overtime pay beyond standard limits when Congress specifically funds it annually. The bill creates an exception to regular pay rules, permitting extra "premium pay" for overtime work in protective roles, but only if an appropriations bill allocates funds for it each year. Crucially, this additional overtime pay does not count toward retirement benefits or lump-sum payments for unused leave. The law ensures the extra pay is treated separately from an agent’s base salary for all other compensation purposes.
