Keep our Correctional Officers Paid Act
HR 10298 requires the federal government to pay salaries for Bureau of Prisons correctional staff who work during a government shutdown, specifically those not placed on furlough. It uses existing Treasury funds (not new appropriations) to cover these payments during any lapse in discretionary funding. This directly affects federal correctional officers employed by the Bureau of Prisons who remain on duty when a shutdown occurs. The bill ensures these workers receive pay without requiring new legislative action for funding during such periods.
