What this bill would do

This bill is called the "Uninterrupted Salaries for Capitol Police Act" or the "USCP Act." It ensures that employees of the United States Capitol Police continue to receive their salaries and expenses during any lapse in discretionary appropriations. This means they would be paid even if there is a government shutdown.
