Eliminates automatic cost of living (COLA) adjustments for Members of Congress during 2013.
AI Summary
This bill, titled "To provide that Members of Congress shall not receive a cost of living adjustment in pay during 2013," aims to prevent any automatic pay increases for members of the U.S. Congress that would normally occur in 2013 due to inflation. Specifically, it states that "no adjustment shall be made under section 601(a) of the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946 (2 U.S.C. 31)" for the year 2013. This section of law, often referred to as the mechanism for Cost of Living Adjustments (COLA) for Members of Congress, is being overridden by this bill to freeze their salaries for that year, meaning their pay would remain the same as it was in 2012.
