What it does
The Government Shutdown Efficiency Act would authorize the President to sell federal real property during a government shutdown and use the proceeds to pay excepted federal employees, including military personnel, without providing them back pay afterward. It prohibits such sales to foreign adversary countries, including China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, and entities they substantially control. Any funds received after the shutdown ends must be deposited into the Treasury’s general fund for deficit reduction, though proceeds may also be used to purchase Greenland. The bill defines covered property to exclude tribal trust lands and certain related interests.
