Blocks pay for Members of Congress during government shutdowns.

This bill would stop Members of Congress from getting paid when the government shuts down. Currently, they still receive their salaries during these periods. If passed, they would not get paid for any days the government is closed and would not receive that money later.

What Would Change

Today, Members of Congress continue to receive their full pay even when the government shuts down due to a lack of funding. If this bill becomes law, Members of Congress would not receive pay for any day the government is shut down and would not get that pay back later. This change would take effect starting with the One Hundred Twentieth Congress.

Key Provisions

Sets the rules for what counts as a government shutdown, meaning when federal agencies run out of money because Congress didn't pass a budget or temporary spending bill.
Blocks Members of Congress from receiving their daily pay for each day a government shutdown is in effect.
Prevents Members of Congress from getting paid back later for any pay they missed during a government shutdown.
Requires the Treasury Secretary to help Congress's payroll offices carry out these new pay rules.
