AI Summary
This bill, titled "To provide that no pay adjustment for Members of Congress shall be made in fiscal year 2013 or 2014," aims to prevent any increases to the salaries of Senators and Representatives during the fiscal years 2013 and 2014. It specifically states that, notwithstanding any other existing laws, no adjustments will be made to their pay under section 601(a) of the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946, which is the law that governs the compensation of Members of Congress. In simpler terms, this means that Congress is proposing to freeze their own pay for those two specific years, preventing automatic cost-of-living adjustments that might otherwise occur.
