HUMBLE Act
HR 2624, the HUMBLE Act, is a multi-provision bill targeting conduct by current and former congressional members. It prohibits former Senators and Representatives from lobbying Congress for one year after leaving office (Section 2), restricts official travel to coach-class airline seating for all congressional staff (Section 3), and bans House Members from owning individual corporate stocks (Section 5). The bill also eliminates benefits like access to House facilities for former Members (Section 4), ends automatic pay raises for Congress (Section 6), and forbids House Members from serving on for-profit boards (Section 7). These changes apply to current Members and take effect in 2026 or 2027, directly affecting congressional staff, former lawmakers, and current representatives.
