No Budget, No Recess Act

HR 9999, the "No Budget, No Recess Act," requires Congress to adopt a budget resolution by April 15 each year or face restrictions on congressional travel. It directly affects all Members of Congress (including delegates and commissioners) by prohibiting official travel during a defined period starting after April 15 if no budget resolution is adopted. The bill limits travel except for returning to Washington, D.C., travel within the National Capital Region, or responding to national security events. This policy change aims to incentivize timely budget passage by restricting non-essential travel for lawmakers if the budget process stalls.
