AI Summary

This bill, titled the "No Pay Raise for Congress Act of 2012," aims to prevent Members of Congress from receiving a cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) to their pay during the fiscal year 2013. A COLA is an automatic increase in pay designed to keep pace with inflation, and this legislation specifically overrides any existing laws, such as section 601(a) of the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946, that would normally allow for such an adjustment for congressional salaries in 2013.
