HR 1417 United States House · 118th Congress

To repeal the provision of law that provides automatic pay adjustments for Members of Congress.

HR 1417 would end automatic pay raises for Members of Congress by repealing a provision in the 1946 Legislative Reorganization Act. This bill directly affects current and future members of Congress by removing their automatic salary increases tied to federal employee pay adjustments. The key mechanism is eliminating section 601(a)(2) of the Act, which previously adjusted congressional pay based on federal wage changes. The change takes effect when the 119th Congress begins, meaning members would no longer receive automatic pay increases under this rule.
