AI Summary
This bill, titled the "No Pay for Disarray Act," proposes to reduce the pay of Members of the House of Representatives if a Speaker is not elected on the first day of a Congress. Specifically, the bill would:
1. Reduce the annual pay of House members by an amount equal to one day's worth of pay for each 24-hour period during which a Speaker has not been elected, starting with the 119th Congress.
2. For the 118th Congress, require the Chief Administrative Officer of the House to hold in escrow an amount equal to the daily pay of each member for each 24-hour period without a Speaker, and release those funds only upon the election of a Speaker or the end of the 118th Congress.
The bill aims to incentivize the timely election of a Speaker and address potential disruptions in the House's operations if a Speaker is not elected promptly at the start of a new Congress.
