The 27th Amendment received the threshold number of state ratifications on 7 May 1992 and became official when certified on 18 May 1992.
The amendment states simply:
"No law, varying the compensation for the services of the Senators and Representatives, shall take effect, until an election of Representatives shall have intervened."
In other words, U.S. Representatives can't get a pay raise until after the next election following them passing a bill raising their salary.
