What this bill does
H.R. 10070 would amend title 5 of the U.S. Code to expand the eligibility of Border Patrol agents for certain overtime pay. The bill's text has not yet been published, so the specific mechanics of that expansion—such as which pay categories, hour thresholds, or eligibility criteria would change—are not yet known.
The bill would primarily affect Border Patrol agents, who are federal employees under U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and potentially the Department of Homeland Security's budget and administration of overtime compensation. Its broader effects on agency operations or the federal workforce cannot be determined until the full text is released.
The bill was introduced on August 10, 2026, by Rep. Andy Barr (R-KY) in the 119th Congress. It is currently at the introduction stage, the earliest step in the legislative process. Next, it would typically be referred to a relevant committee (such as one with jurisdiction over federal employee compensation or homeland security) for review before any further action, such as a committee vote or floor consideration, could occur.
