AI Summary
This bill, titled the "Pay Our Border Patrol and Customs Agents Act," addresses the payment of salaries for specific U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) employees during a potential government shutdown in fiscal year 2026. Specifically, the bill appropriates necessary funds from the U.S. Treasury to ensure that Border Patrol Agents and Office of Field Operations officers who are required to work during a lapse in discretionary appropriations (a government shutdown) will receive their salaries. This means that if a government shutdown occurs in fiscal year 2026, these critical CBP employees will be guaranteed payment for their work, even though other government funding may be temporarily suspended. The bill aims to provide financial stability and protection for essential border security personnel during potential periods of government funding interruption.
