Bill overview
The Ensure Washington Funds Government Responsibly Act aims to prevent government shutdowns by automatically providing continuing appropriations if regular appropriations or a continuing resolution aren't in place. During this time, Members of Congress and the President would have their pay withheld and deposited in escrow, only to be released at the end of the period. The bill also establishes rules to ensure that program funding levels remain consistent with prior years, adjusting for inflation, and prevents sequestration from impacting funding during these continuing appropriations periods.
