AI Summary
This bill, the Congressional Pay for Performance Act of 2017, aims to withhold the salaries of members of Congress if their respective house fails to (1) agree to a budget resolution for the upcoming fiscal year by May 15 or (2) pass all regular appropriations bills for the upcoming fiscal year by July 31. During these periods, the payroll administrator would deposit the members' salaries in an escrow account and release the funds only upon the house's completion of the required budgetary actions.
