Pay Our Coast Guard Act

Summary of Bill S 802

Bill 119 s 802, also known as the Coast Guard Pay Protection Act, aims to amend title 14 of the United States Code to ensure that Coast Guard personnel continue to receive their pay in the event that an appropriations Act expires before a new one is enacted. This bill is designed to prevent any disruptions in pay for Coast Guard members during times of budget uncertainty.

The bill specifies that if an appropriations Act expires and a new one has not been enacted, the Secretary of Homeland Security is authorized to make appropriations for Coast Guard pay. This provision is crucial in ensuring that Coast Guard personnel, who play a vital role in protecting our nation's maritime interests, are not financially impacted by delays in the budget process.

In addition to addressing pay protection for Coast Guard members, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to Coast Guard operations. These additional purposes are not specified in the summary, but may include funding for equipment, training, or other resources needed to support the Coast Guard's mission. Overall, Bill 119 s 802 is a non-partisan effort to ensure that Coast Guard personnel are not negatively affected by budget uncertainties and can continue to carry out their important duties effectively.
