Bill Intelligence
The bill aims to withhold Senators' pay during government shutdowns, defining a shutdown as a lapse in agency appropriations. The Secretary of the Senate is to disburse and hold payments for Senators during a shutdown and release them afterward. The bill will be effective from the day after the 2026 November election. If passed, the bill will impact Senators' compensation during government shutdowns, possibly incentivizing quicker resolution of budgetary disputes to avoid affecting Senators' pay.
