Bill > HR626

This bill, the No Congressional First Class Flights Act, prohibits the use of official funds for airline accommodations for Members of Congress that are not coach-class, unless the accommodations are necessary to accommodate a medical disability or other special need. The bill defines "coach-class accommodations" as the basic class of accommodation by airlines that is normally the lowest fare offered, regardless of the airline's terminology. The bill also requires the House Committee on House Administration and the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration to promulgate regulations to carry out the Act, and specifies that the term "Member of Congress" includes Senators, Representatives, Delegates, and the Resident Commissioner to Congress. The bill is effective starting in fiscal year 2020 and each succeeding fiscal year.
