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.

This constitutional amendment would require Congress to approve a budget resolution before the start of each fiscal year for members to receive pay. It directly affects all 535 current and future members of Congress. The key provision prohibits compensation during any fiscal year unless both the House and Senate agree to an identical budget resolution prior to that year’s start date. If ratified, this would tie congressional pay to timely budget passage, requiring budget agreement before the fiscal year begins.
