This bill should pass. It is of no cost to anyone and would bring a sense of equity to many hardworking law enforcement officers who entered the profession with the hope of retiring at a particular age. It is un-American and in bad conscience to arbitrarily move these officers from one agency to another and in the process deny them of a good measure of their time. Recrediting the time would be the right thing to do. There is no decent reason this bill should not pass, a condition that should have been part of the law in the first place. The congress should redress this miscarriage of justice.
