## Summary

**Stops retroactive pay for Members of Congress during government shutdowns.** This bill would require payroll administrators to withhold from each pay period an amount equal to one day's pay for every 24‑hour period of a shutdown that falls in that pay period. It would bar any retroactive payment for days that occur during a shutdown. The Treasury must provide assistance to implement the withholdings. The bill defines payroll administrators for the House and Senate and defines a government shutdown as a lapse in appropriations from failure to enact funding.

## Provisions PRIA read

- Members lose pay during shutdowns: cost, medium. If enacted, Members of Congress would have pay withheld for any pay period that includes government shutdown days. For each pay period, payroll offices would withhold one day's pay (annual rate under 2 U.S.C. 4501 divided by 365) multiplied by the number of 24-hour shutdown days in that pay period.…
