Plain-English Summary
This resolution would prevent senators from using taxpayer money to travel on official business whenever the federal government shuts down due to budget disagreements. The rule would apply to all senators regardless of party and would remain in effect until the government reopens and normal funding resumes. The goal is to ensure that lawmakers face the same travel restrictions as other federal employees during shutdowns.
