What this bill would do

This bill is called the Locality Pay Adjustment Act. It directs the President's Pay Agent to establish pay localities for the Orlando metropolitan area and the Tampa metropolitan area. Within one year of the bill's enactment, the pay agent must conduct a study about establishing these pay localities. The pay agent must also submit a report on the study's results to Congress. Finally, the pay agent is required to establish pay localities for both the Orlando and Tampa metropolitan areas.
