#CongressTradingBan The "Congress Trading Ban" refers to proposals to prohibit U.S. members of Congress and their families from trading individual stocks, aiming to curb potential insider trading and conflicts of interest arising from their access to non-public information. While the STOCK Act of 2012 mandates disclosure, it's seen as insufficient. Proposed bans often allow diversified investments like mutual funds and may require divestment or blind trusts. Supporters argue it would restore public trust and focus lawmakers on their duties. Despite bipartisan interest and President Biden's support, no comprehensive ban has been enacted, with ongoing debate about scope and enforcement.
