Bill > S3094

This bill provides funding to ensure that Capitol Police officers, employees, and contractors continue to be paid during a potential government shutdown that begins on October 1, 2025. Specifically, the legislation appropriates necessary funds from the U.S. Treasury to cover standard pay rates, allowances, benefits, and other regular payments for Capitol Police personnel who continue working during the shutdown. The bill also allows the Capitol Police Chief to pay contractors providing essential support during this period. Any expenditures made under this act will be retroactively charged to the Capitol Police's regular appropriation once a new funding bill is passed. The funding provisions will remain in effect until either a new appropriation bill for the Capitol Police is enacted, a legislative branch funding bill is passed without specific Capitol Police funding, or September 30, 2026 is reached, whichever occurs first. The act is designed to be retroactively effective as of September 30, 2025, ensuring that no Capitol Police personnel experience financial interruption during a potential government funding lapse.
