Bill > HJRes7

This Joint Resolution proposes an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would prevent members of Congress from being paid during a fiscal year unless both the House of Representatives and the Senate have agreed on a concurrent resolution on the budget for that fiscal year before that fiscal year begins. A concurrent resolution on the budget is a non-binding agreement between the House and Senate that outlines the government's spending and revenue plans for the upcoming fiscal year, and this amendment would make agreement on such a resolution a prerequisite for congressional salaries.
