To amend title 5, United States Code, to provide authority to the Administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration to provide a cash award to Administration employees with foreign language skills, and for other purposes.

This bill would allow the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to provide cash awards of up to 10% of an employee's base pay to staff who maintain proficiency in languages critical to the DEA's mission or use foreign languages in official duties. It directly affects DEA employees with relevant language skills, incentivizing retention and recruitment for language-dependent operations. The award program would operate under regulations set by the DEA Administrator, with no requirement for employee performance evaluations. The policy change aims to support the agency's law enforcement capabilities through language expertise.
