This legislative proposal aims to ensure timely completion of the federal budget process by imposing financial consequences on Members of Congress. It mandates that by October 1 of each fiscal year, both the House and Senate must approve a concurrent resolution on the budget and pass all regular appropriations bills. Failure to meet this deadline will trigger a suspension of congressional pay. Specifically, Members of Congress will not receive their salaries for any period during which these budgetary requirements remain unfulfilled. A crucial aspect of this measure is that there will be no retroactive pay for the period of non-compliance, meaning lost wages cannot be recovered later. The determination of whether Congress is in compliance and the duration of the pay suspension will be made by the respective House and Senate Budget and Appropriations Chairs. This Act is set to take effect on September 29, 2027.
