Bill Summary
A BILL To make continuing appropriations for military pay in the event of a Government shutdown.
AI Summary
This bill, the Pay Our Troops Act, aims to provide continuing appropriations (funding) for members of the U.S. Armed Forces, including active duty personnel, civilian Department of Defense (and Department of Homeland Security for the Coast Guard) employees, and certain contractors, in the event of a government shutdown when interim or full-year appropriations are not in effect for the fiscal year 2024. The appropriations would be available until either new appropriations are enacted, the applicable appropriations resolution or act is passed without such appropriation, or January 1, 2025, whichever occurs first. This is intended to ensure that military personnel and essential support staff continue to receive their pay and allowances during a potential government shutdown.
