Lets the President sell federal property during shutdowns to pay some federal workers, but they wouldn't get back pay.
This bill would let the President sell government-owned land and buildings during a government shutdown. The money from these sales would pay certain federal workers who stay on the job. However, those workers would not receive the extra back pay they usually get after a shutdown ends.
Today, during a government shutdown, the executive branch generally cannot sell federal real property. Many federal employees are furloughed without pay, but typically receive back pay after the lapse ends. This bill would allow the President to sell federal property during a shutdown. The money could then pay essential federal employees, but those employees would not receive back pay. It would also prevent the sale of certain tribal lands and prohibit sales to specific foreign adversary countries.
