Summary

Summary by the Congressional Research Service

This bill eliminates automatic increases to pay for Members of Congress, beginning with the 120th Congress. Current law automatically increases Member pay according to a formula. The annual increase is (1) based on the percentage change in private sector wages as measured by the Employment Cost Index (ECI); and (2) capped at the percentage increase to General Schedule (GS) employees' base pay. The annual adjustment automatically goes into effect unless Congress modifies the increase in legislation.
