The purpose of this legislative resolution is to reduce the pay of U.S. Senators during any government shutdown. The goal is to hold Senators financially accountable for the failure to pass a budget or appropriations, which leads to a shutdown of government services. The key provisions of this resolution state that if a government shutdown occurs, Senators will not receive their full pay for the duration of the shutdown. Specifically, the Secretary of the Senate will calculate the pay reduction based on the number of days the shutdown lasts during a pay period.
