AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would make it illegal for certain federal officials and employees to knowingly buy, sell, or trade prediction market contracts tied to government policy, government action, or political outcomes when they have important nonpublic information about the subject. The ban also applies when they could reasonably get such information through their official duties. Covered people include federal elected officials, House and Senate staff, political appointees, and employees of executive agencies. Prediction market contracts are defined as contracts or derivatives offered on interstate platforms that pay out based on whether a future event happens.
