To amend the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946 to tie the salaries of Members of Congress to the salaries of the judiciary.
HR 9417 would tie congressional salaries to judicial pay scales under the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946. It sets the Speaker's salary at the higher of $274,200 or a Supreme Court associate justice's pay, leadership roles at $236,900 or a circuit judge's pay, and all other members at $223,400 or a district judge's pay. The bill requires congressional pay to automatically adjust based on judicial salary changes, ensuring it never falls below these specified minimums. This applies to all 535 members of Congress, including delegates and resident commissioners, starting after the November 2024 election.
