Pay Our Public Shipyard Workers Act
Introduced Oct 3, 2025 by Rep. Maggie Goodlander
It's waiting on a committee vote to reach the full chamber. Most bills never leave this stage.
This bill provides continuing appropriations to pay public shipyard workers during any period in which interim or full-year appropriations for FY2026 or FY2027 are not in effect (i.e., a government shutdown).
Specifically, the bill provides continuing appropriations to provide pay and allowances to civilian and military public shipyard workers who work during the government shutdown.
If a government shutdown occurs, the bill provides the continuing appropriations until the earlier of (1) the enactment into law of specified appropriations legislation, or (2) January 1, 2027.
