Summary of Bill HR 265
The Bill 118 hr 265, also known as the No Vote, No Raise Act, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress. The main purpose of this bill is to prevent members of Congress from receiving pay raises if they fail to vote on budget resolutions.
Under the No Vote, No Raise Act, if a member of Congress does not vote on a budget resolution, they will not be eligible for a pay raise for that fiscal year.

Overall, the No Vote, No Raise Act is a proposed piece of legislation that seeks to hold members of Congress accountable for their voting behavior on budget resolutions by tying their pay raises to their voting record.
