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 joint resolution proposes changing the Constitution so that Members of Congress would not get paid unless both the House and Senate agree on a budget before the fiscal year starts. The amendment would need to be approved by three-fourths of state legislatures within seven years to become part of the Constitution. If approved, the rule would start applying in the fiscal year after the amendment becomes official.
