Referred to the House Committee on House Administration.
This bill would withhold pay from all members of Congress if they fail to meet two budget-related deadlines by October 1st of each fiscal year: approving a concurrent resolution on the budget and passing all regular appropriations bills. The pay suspension would continue daily until both chambers complete these tasks, and members would not be able to receive retroactive pay for the period they were withheld from. The bill affects all senators and representatives but excludes the Vice President. The legislation would become effective on February 1, 2024, and designates the chairs of the Senate and House budget and appropriations committees to determine compliance and certify the periods during which members cannot be paid.
