Summary

Pay Raise Accountability Act of 1987 - Amends the Federal Salary Act of 1967 to make the President's recommendation for congressional salaries of an advisory nature only. Amends the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946 to declare the annual rate of pay for Members of Congress to be the rate payable for such positions on December 31, 1986. Makes it out of order in the House or Senate to consider any bill or resolution which adjusts the pay of Members, unless the bill or resolution: (1) takes effect at the beginning of the subsequent Congress; and (2) deals with no subject matter other than congressional pay. Requires a recorded vote on such legislation.
