Bill to punish government officials and employees who trade stocks based on inside information.
The problem
Government workers may buy and sell stocks using secret information they learn at work, which is unfair to regular investors and damages public trust in government.
The proposal
The bill would create new criminal penalties and enforcement rules to stop government employees and officials from trading stocks based on confidential information they access through their jobs.
The impact
Government employees, stock traders, and the general public would be affected through stricter rules on insider trading by federal workers and possible criminal punishment.
Prevents government workers from using secret information to make unfair profits on the stock market. This makes investing fairer for everyday people who don't have access to government secrets.
Shows citizens that government officials follow the same rules as everyone else. This helps restore confidence that government isn't rigged for the wealthy and powerful.
Creates clear rules about what government employees can and cannot do with stocks. Removes confusion about what trading activity is actually illegal.
Government employees might avoid investing in stocks altogether to stay safe from legal trouble. This could discourage workers from saving money for retirement.
It can be difficult to prove that someone traded stocks because of confidential information they learned at work. Government would need more investigators and lawyers to enforce this law.
Existing laws already ban insider trading. This bill may just duplicate rules that are already in place without actually stopping the behavior.

Individual contributions, grouped by employer · FEC
Where their individual donors work · 2026 cycle
Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
