Stop Insider Trading Act

House Administration · Rep. Bryan Steil (R-WI)

The bill would prohibit members of Congress and their spouses and dependent children from buying stocks in publicly traded companies. It would also require them to publicly announce their intention to sell such stocks at least a week in advance, with some exemptions for certain types of investments and employment-related transactions. Violations would result in fees and mandatory sale requirements.[AI-Generated]
