AI Summary

This bill, the Ensure Washington Funds Government Responsibly Act, amends the United States Code to provide for automatic continuing appropriations if regular appropriation bills are not enacted before the start of a fiscal year. This means that government programs and activities can continue to be funded at a rate not exceeding the previous year's level, adjusted for inflation, even during a lapse in appropriations. The bill also withholds the pay of the President and members of Congress during any period when these automatic continuing appropriations are in effect.
