Bill > HR5680

This bill, known as the "Pay Our Public Shipyard Workers Act," aims to ensure that civilian and military public shipyard workers continue to receive pay and allowances during a government shutdown. Specifically, the bill appropriates necessary funds from the U.S. Treasury for fiscal years 2026 and 2027 to cover wages for shipyard workers in the event that interim or full-year appropriations are not in effect. The funding will remain available until one of three conditions occurs: (1) an appropriation bill is passed that covers these workers' pay, (2) an appropriations resolution is enacted without funding for these workers, or (3) January 1, 2027 is reached. This legislation is designed to provide financial security for public shipyard workers during potential government funding gaps, ensuring they are not left without income during periods of budgetary uncertainty.
