This bill would bar Members of Congress, the President, the Vice President, political appointees, federal judges, and their spouses and dependent children from owning or trading stocks, commodities, futures, and similar investments. Exceptions include diversified publicly traded funds, U.S. Treasury and state or municipal bonds, small business interests, and certain other assets. Covered people would have to sell covered investments within 180 days of enactment, or within 90 days of taking office, and the bill also bars them from trading on prediction markets tied to specific events. Violators would pay a fee of 10 percent of the transaction's value and give up any profits, could not use campaign or official office funds to pay, and ethics offices would post fines online.
