No Pay for Congress Members During Government Shutdowns
This bill aims to stop payments to members of Congress during periods when the federal government is shut down due to a failure to pass appropriations. This means that if Congress cannot agree on funding, its members will not be paid, potentially encouraging them to resolve budget issues more quickly.
Key points
Members of Congress will not receive pay for each day the government is shut down.
A government shutdown is defined as a lapse in funding for any federal agency.
These rules will apply starting from the 119th Congress.
