This bill, the No Work, No Pay Act of 2025, aims to ensure that Members of Congress do not receive their regular pay during a government shutdown. It defines a government shutdown as a lapse in federal funding due to a failure to pass appropriations bills. The bill specifies how much pay would be withheld and clarifies the roles of the Treasury Secretary and congressional payroll administrators in implementing this policy. It applies to all future Congresses, starting with the 120th Congress.
