Lead By Example Act - Prohibits matching contributions to the Thrift Savings Fund for Members of Congress: (1) for any pay period beginning before the date on which Congress completes action on a budget resolution for the fiscal year in which the first day of such pay period occurs; and (2) unless the deficit for such fiscal year (as set forth in the budget resolution) is less than the deficit for the preceding fiscal year.

The summary below was written by the House Republican Conference, which is the caucus of Republicans in the House of Representatives.

No summary available.

House Democratic Caucus Summary

The House Democratic Caucus does not provide summaries of bills.

So, yes, we display the House Republican Conference’s summaries when available even if we do not have a Democratic summary available. That’s because we feel it is better to give you as much information as possible, even if we cannot provide every viewpoint.

We’ll be looking for a source of summaries from the other side in the meanwhile.
