Public Shipyard Workers Pay Act during Government Shutdown

This act aims to ensure continuous pay for civilian and military public shipyard workers if the federal government shuts down due to a lack of an enacted budget. This means these workers will receive their pay and allowances even if other parts of the government are closed, providing them with financial stability. These provisions will remain in effect until a regular budget is enacted or until January 1, 2027, whichever comes first.
