What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Staff Salary Schedule Improvement Act," seeks to change how salaries are paid within the House of Representatives. It proposes amending the Legislative Branch Appropriations Act, 2002. The change would allow the Chief Administrative Officer to pay salaries twice per month once the House upgrades its payroll system. This change would occur if directed by the Committee on House Administration.
