Plain summary

No Ongoing Perks Enrichment Act or the NOPE Act This bill increases to five years the post-employment lobbying ban on a former Member of Congress. The bill also addresses Members' salaries and travel expenses. The bill withholds the salaries of Members of a congressional chamber that has not agreed to a budget resolution for FY2020 by April 15, 2019. Salaries are withheld from April 16, 2019, until the chamber agrees to a budget resolution or the last day of the 116th Congress, whichever is earlier. The bill eliminates automatic pay adjustments for Members of Congress.

This prohibition shall not apply to an individual if the use would be permitted for an employee of an agency subject to specified federal regulations for temporary duty travel allowances.

Appropriation
Money a legislature sets aside by law for a specific purpose. Government agencies may spend public money only as it has been appropriated.
Bill
A proposed law. It becomes law only if it passes the legislature and is signed by the president or governor (or a veto is overridden).
Resolution
A formal statement or decision by a legislative body. Simple resolutions often only express an opinion or set rules for one chamber; they do not become law.
Rulemaking
The process agencies use to write regulations that carry out laws passed by Congress or a legislature. Usually an agency publishes a proposed rule, takes public comments, then publishes a final rule.
