AI Summary
This bill, the No Work, No Pay Act of 2019, prohibits members of Congress from being paid during a government shutdown, which occurs when there is a lapse in appropriations for any federal agency or department due to a failure to enact a regular appropriations bill or continuing resolution. The bill requires the payroll administrators of the House and Senate to exclude from members' paychecks an amount equal to one day's pay for each 24-hour period during which the government shutdown is in effect. The Secretary of the Treasury is required to assist the payroll administrators in carrying out this provision, which applies to the 117th Congress and all succeeding Congresses.
