Overview
Text
Bill Intelligence

The bill, if passed, will enact the "Stop Insider Trading Act," imposing restrictions on covered investments for Members of Congress and their families. It prohibits the purchase of covered investments during federal service, requires advance notice of covered investment sales, and outlines exceptions for occupational trading and dividend reinvestments. Violations would lead to penalties and potential forced sales of investments. The bill also introduces photo identification requirements for individuals voting in elections for federal office, including provisions regarding acceptable identification forms and access to digital imaging devices for making copies of valid photo identifications. These requirements would apply to both in-person and absentee voting.

The bill is set to take effect 180 days after enactment for the restrictions on covered investments and 90 days after enactment for the voter photo identification requirements.

Roll Call Vote
A vote that records the individual position of each Member who voted. Such votes occurring on the House floor (by the "yeas and nays" or by "recorded vote") are taken by electronic device. The Senate has no electronic voting system; in such votes, Senators answer "yea" or "nay" as the clerk calls each name aloud. Each vote is compiled by clerks and receives a roll call number (referenced in Congress.gov as a "Record Vote" [Senate] or "Roll no." [House]).

Summary

Stop Insider Trading Act

This bill generally prohibits Members of Congress and their spouses and dependent children from purchasing stocks and requires public notice before these individuals may sell stocks.

Specifically, Members of Congress and the spouses and dependent children of Members of Congress may not purchase covered investments. Between 7 and 14 days before a Member or a covered spouse or dependent sells a covered investment, the relevant Member must file public notice of the intent to sell with the Clerk of the House of Representatives or the Secretary of the Senate, as appropriate. The Clerk or Secretary must publish this notice online. If the individual decides not to sell the covered investment, the notice must be withdrawn.

Under the bill, a covered investment is a security issued by a publicly traded company or a comparable economic interest. Some investments are exempt, including interest in a widely held investment fund and certain investments held in a trust.

Violations of these provisions are subject to a fee and, in the case of a purchase, a requirement to sell the covered investment. The fee must equal (1) the greater of $2,000 or 10% of the transaction value, and (2) any net gain realized from the transaction during a specified period. The fee may not be paid using campaign donations or Members’ official allowances.

Certain transactions by covered spouses and dependents are exempt, including transactions made on behalf of another person or made as part of compensation from the individual’s employer.
