Pay Our Capitol Police Act

This bill would provide funding during a government shutdown in fiscal year 2026 to pay Capitol Police officers whom the Chief of the Capitol Police determines are excepted or performing emergency work. It would also pay civilian employees and contractors who support those officers, covering salaries, overtime, and benefits. The funding would end when regular or temporary funding for the Capitol Police is passed, or on September 30, 2026, whichever comes first. The bill would apply back to October 1, 2025, and back pay for that earlier period would be paid as soon as practicable.
