Plain-English Summary

This bill would protect federal prison guards from losing pay or benefits during government shutdowns by ensuring they continue to receive paychecks even when Congress hasn't passed a budget. The measure aims to keep correctional facilities staffed and secure by guaranteeing that officers working in federal prisons don't face financial hardship when the government temporarily runs out of funding authority.
