HUMBLE Act
HR 507 (HUMBLE Act) prohibits former members of Congress from lobbying their former colleagues for two years after leaving office, denies House members access to facilities like dining rooms and parking upon leaving office, and bans current House members from owning stocks or serving on for-profit boards. It requires all congressional travel to use coach-class accommodations (with limited exceptions), with this rule applying to fiscal year 2024 and beyond. The bill also reduces pay for House members if a Speaker isn’t elected by the first day of a new Congress, with this provision specifically applying to the 119th Congress and future sessions. These changes target conflicts of interest and procedural delays through concrete policy restrictions.
