S 43 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A bill to repeal the provision of law that provides automatic pay adjustments for Members of Congress.

This bill (S 43) repeals the automatic pay adjustment provision for Members of Congress, ending their annual automatic salary increases. It directly affects all current and future members of the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate by requiring Congress to approve pay changes annually instead of applying them automatically. The key change eliminates Section 601(a)(2) of the 1946 Legislative Reorganization Act, shifting pay adjustments to an annual legislative process. The repeal takes effect when the 119th Congress begins, meaning the next Congress will need to act on pay changes each year.
