No Pay Raise for Congress Act

HR 135, the "No Pay Raise for Congress Act," prevents members of Congress from receiving pay raises unless the federal government's total spending in the previous fiscal year did not exceed its total revenue, as verified by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). It directly affects all congressional members by tying their pay adjustments to the federal budget balance. The key provision amends existing law to require CBO certification that spending did not exceed revenue before any pay increase can be implemented. This creates a specific fiscal condition for congressional pay adjustments, rather than allowing automatic raises.
