Bill > HJRes7

This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment that would prevent Members of Congress from receiving their salary during any fiscal year unless both the House of Representatives and the Senate have previously agreed on a concurrent budget resolution before that fiscal year begins. A concurrent resolution on the budget is a legislative mechanism that sets overall spending and revenue levels for the federal government, but does not require the President's signature. The proposed amendment would effectively create a financial incentive for Congress to complete budget negotiations in a timely manner, as lawmakers would forfeit their pay if they fail to reach a budget agreement before the start of a new fiscal year. The amendment would become part of the Constitution if ratified by three-fourths of state legislatures within seven years of its submission, and would apply to fiscal years beginning after its ratification.
