Resolution to reduce the annual pay of Senators if a government shutdown occurs during a year.
The resolution mandates that if a government shutdown occurs, the Secretary of the Senate must withhold from each Senator's pay an amount corresponding to the number of 24-hour periods of the shutdown within a pay period. These withheld amounts are to be held in escrow. The resolution also stipulates that the Secretary of the Senate must release any remaining escrowed amounts to Senators on the pay reduction effective date, which is after the November 2026 general election.
