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 automatic increases in the salaries of Members of Congress during the fiscal years of 2013 and 2014. It achieves this by overriding any existing laws that would allow for such pay adjustments, specifically referencing section 601(a) of the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946, which deals with the compensation of Members of Congress. In plain language, this means that despite any standard procedures for adjusting congressional pay based on factors like cost of living, Congress's pay will remain unchanged for those two specific years.
