Don’t worry they get the money back once they’ve passed the budget.

Nope!

Prop 25 did two things. First, it allowed the budget to be passed with a simple majority vote instead of the two-thirds that used to be the rule. AND, it required legislators to permanently forfeit their pay for every day the budget was late. If they pass a budget today, they will still have lost one week's pay.
