The information regarding the ban on congressional stock trading is current up to January 15, 2025. There are ongoing efforts to pass legislation that would prohibit members of Congress, their spouses, and dependent children from trading individual stocks.

Two relevant bills are :

- *TRUST in Congress Act*: This bipartisan bill, reintroduced in January 2025, aims to ban lawmakers and their immediate family members from owning individual stocks. It requires them to either divest from individual stock holdings or move their investments into a qualified blind trust.

- *No Corruption in Government Act*: Introduced in January 2025, this bill would prevent members of Congress and their spouses from holding or trading individual stocks, repeal automatic annual pay raises, and triple the lobbying ban for lawmakers.

Additionally, President Donald Trump is considering a ban on stock trading by members of Congress, according to recent reports . These developments indicate that the issue is actively being addressed in the current legislative session.
