Legislative salary and mileage payments.

HR 5 changes how House members are paid. It requires members to receive their full legislative salary (as set by the Constitution) in January 2025, instead of earlier payments. It also mandates that mileage reimbursements for travel during legislative sessions be paid every two weeks, rather than on a less frequent schedule. This procedural bill directly affects all members of the House of Representatives. The changes apply to the 2025 payment cycle and session scheduling.
