Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would change the pay of Members of Congress when federal funding lapses. If any federal agency or department has a lapse in appropriations because Congress did not pass a regular spending bill or a continuing resolution, each Member's pay rate would become one dollar. That rate would last from the first day of the lapse until the last day of that session of Congress. The change would apply only to days after the next regularly scheduled federal general election held after the bill becomes law.
