Plain-English Summary

This bill would eliminate the automatic annual pay raises that members of Congress currently receive, requiring them to vote on any salary increases instead of getting them automatically. Currently, congressional salaries adjust each year based on a cost-of-living formula, but this change would stop that practice and force lawmakers to explicitly approve their own pay changes. The bill affects only members of Congress and would make their compensation decisions more transparent and subject to public scrutiny.
