Bill > S86

This bill would repeal the provision in the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946 that currently provides automatic pay adjustments for Members of Congress. Specifically, the bill eliminates paragraph (2) of section 601(a) of the Act, which likely governs how congressional salaries are automatically increased. The bill makes several technical amendments to the existing law, including redesignating subparagraphs and adjusting language to reflect the removal of the automatic pay adjustment mechanism. These changes would take effect when the 120th Congress convenes, meaning that future pay adjustments for members of Congress would no longer be automatic but would instead require separate legislative action. By removing the automatic adjustment, the bill aims to give Congress more direct oversight and accountability over its own compensation, potentially making salary increases more transparent and subject to explicit congressional approval.
