Introduced in Senate (01/14/2025)

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.
