Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to prohibit Members of Congress from receiving compensation during a fiscal year unless both Houses of Congress have agreed to a concurrent resolution on the budget for that fiscal year prior to the beginning of that fiscal year.

Bill 119 hjres 7, also known as the "No Budget, No Pay Act," proposes an amendment to the Constitution of the United States that would prohibit Members of Congress from receiving their salaries during a fiscal year unless both the House of Representatives and the Senate have agreed to a concurrent resolution on the budget for that fiscal year before it begins.

The purpose of this bill is to incentivize Congress to pass a budget in a timely manner and avoid government shutdowns by tying their pay to the budget process. Currently, Congress has faced criticism for failing to pass budgets on time, leading to uncertainty and inefficiency in government operations.

If this bill were to become law, Members of Congress would only receive their salaries if they have successfully passed a budget resolution before the start of the fiscal year. This would hold lawmakers accountable for their responsibility to pass a budget and ensure that government operations are funded in a timely manner. Overall, the No Budget, No Pay Act aims to promote fiscal responsibility and accountability within Congress by linking lawmakers' compensation to their ability to pass a budget on time.
