This bill proposes to eliminate automatic pay adjustments for Members of Congress. It achieves this by repealing paragraph (2) of section 601(a) of the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946, which currently provides for these annual salary increases. The legislation also includes necessary technical and conforming amendments to the affected statute, ensuring that any future pay adjustments would require explicit legislative action. These changes are designed to take effect upon the convening of the 120th Congress, thereby altering the mechanism for congressional compensation.
