Standard Summary
Comprehensive overview in 1-2 paragraphs
The Anti-Cash Grab Act seeks to repeal Section 213 of the Continuing Appropriations, Agriculture, Legislative Branch, Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, and Extensions Act, 2026. This section currently allows Members of Congress to receive compensation for unused leave upon retirement or resignation, which critics argue constitutes a 'cash grab.' The bill would restore the previous law (Section 10 of the Legislative Branch Appropriations Act, 2005) and take effect retroactively.
