HR 265 United States House · 118th Congress

No Vote, No Raise Act

HR 265, the "No Vote, No Raise Act," would end automatic annual pay increases for Members of Congress by repealing the current provision that adjusts their salaries based on inflation. Instead, any future pay raise would require a separate vote by Congress, meaning members could not receive a salary increase without explicitly approving it. The bill directly affects all current and future members of the U.S. House and Senate, removing the automatic adjustment mechanism. This change would take effect for the 2025 pay cycle, beginning December 31, 2024. The law focuses solely on altering the process for congressional compensation, not on other legislative matters.
