A resolution reducing the annual rate of pay of Senators if a Government shutdown occurs during a year.
Summary
This is a non-binding resolution that does not have the force of law. It proposes that Senators would have their annual pay reduced if a government shutdown takes place during that year. The resolution aims to create a financial incentive for Senators to avoid shutdowns by directly linking their compensation to government funding continuity. If enacted, this would mean Senators could not receive their full annual salary in any year in which a shutdown occurs, regardless of their individual role in the shutdown.
