Modifies the two separation allowance options for State law enforcement officers (GS 143-166.41) and local law enforcement officers (GS 143-166.42) as follows. Adds the following criteria for the annual special separation allowance option that is paid at a rate equal to 0.85% of the annual equivalent of the base rate of compensation at the time the officer attained 30 years of service multiplied by 30, so that it now requires that at least 50% of the 30 or more years of the officer’s creditable service prior to attaining 62 years of age which was as a law enforcement officer, or, for State officers, service prior to July 1, 2017, as a probation/parole officer. 

Also requires that at least 50% of the of the officer's creditable service be as a law enforcement officer, or, for State officers, for service prior to July 1, 2017, as probation/parole officer as part of the criteria that must be met as part of the annual special separation allowance that is paid equal 0.85% of the annual base rate of compensation most recently applicable to the officer for each year of that officer's creditable service.
