Wyoming’s U.S. Senators Mike Enzi and John Barrasso have joined seven other Republican senators, to introduce legislation that would permanently prevent the federal government from shutting down in the future, thus ensuring that essential government services are not disrupted and protecting taxpayers who must bear the resulting cost. The End Government Shutdowns Act would create an automatic continuing resolution for any regular appropriations bill keeping the federal government open when budget negotiations falter before key spending deadlines. Enzi notes that a government shutdown disrupts lives both inside and outside the government. Barrasso adds that Americans shouldn’t have to suffer uncertainty or go without a paycheck because Congress failed to fund the government. If passed, it is unclear how this legislation would affect the current shutdown.
