S 3094 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Pay Our Capitol Police Act

This bill ensures Capitol Police officers, employees, and qualifying contractors receive regular pay during a government shutdown starting October 1, 2025. It appropriates funds to cover standard pay, benefits, and contractor support for work performed during the shutdown period, retroactively effective from September 30, 2025. Funds will be charged to future Capitol Police appropriations once regular funding is enacted or by September 30, 2026. The bill directly affects Capitol Police staff and contractors whose work continued during the shutdown, guaranteeing compensation without waiting for new budget bills.
