A bill to repeal the provision of law that provides automatic pay adjustments for Members of Congress.
Introduced Jan 14, 2025 by Sen. Rick Scott
It's waiting on a committee vote to reach the full chamber. Most bills never leave this stage.
This bill eliminates automatic increases to pay for Members of Congress, beginning with the 120th Congress.
Current law automatically increases Member pay according to a formula. The annual increase is (1) based on the percentage change in private sector wages as measured by the Employment Cost Index (ECI); and (2) capped at the percentage increase to General Schedule (GS) employees' base pay. The annual adjustment automatically goes into effect unless Congress modifies the increase in legislation.
