To repeal the provision of law that provides automatic pay adjustments for Members of Congress.
HR 7628 repeals a provision in the 1946 Legislative Reorganization Act that automatically adjusted Members of Congress' pay based on federal employee raises. This change directly affects current and future members of Congress by removing automatic pay increases, requiring Congress to pass separate legislation for any future pay adjustments. The bill takes effect when the 120th Congress convenes, ending a long-standing practice of automatic compensation changes.
