If federal employees aren’t paid during a government shutdown, members of Congress shouldn’t be either, says Utah Rep. John Curtis.
On Tuesday, Curtis reintroduced his “No Work, No Pay Act” for the third time. The legislation would prevent members of Congress from being paid during federal government shutdowns, like a potential standstill that could happen this weekend.
“I’ve introduced the No Work, No Pay Act to ensure that Congress doesn’t receive a paycheck during government shutdowns,” Curtis said in a statement. “It’s a common-sense measure, and I appreciate everyone’s support for this bill.” This will be Curtis’ fourth government shutdown during his tenure, his office said. As he has done in previous federal standstills, Curtis says he will ask the Clerk of House to stop his pay until the shutdown ends.
