Bill > HR5849

This bill, known as the Uninterrupted Salaries for Capitol Police Act (USCP Act), ensures that United States Capitol Police employees continue to receive their full salaries during government shutdowns or lapses in discretionary appropriations. Specifically, the legislation automatically appropriates necessary funds from the U.S. Treasury to cover the salaries and expenses of Capitol Police employees whenever there is a gap in regular government funding. By creating this automatic funding mechanism, the bill aims to protect the financial stability of Capitol Police workers during periods of budgetary uncertainty, ensuring they are not financially penalized during potential government funding interruptions. The bill is straightforward in its approach, providing a clear and direct solution to prevent potential financial hardship for law enforcement personnel responsible for protecting the U.S. Capitol.
