Members of Congress can buy and sell individual stocks while writing laws that affect those companies. This cause backs a clear ban that requires members to sell those stocks or use a qualified blind trust. It also aims to cover spouses and dependents.

Why this matters now
Members of Congress often learn news before the public and vote on laws that can move stock prices. If they trade individual stocks, people can’t tell if decisions are for the country or for a personal portfolio. Disclosure rules and small fines have not stopped the problem. A clear ban would remove the conflict and help rebuild trust.
What's blocking progress
Leaders can delay votes, and some members push carve-outs that weaken the ban. Disagreements about who is covered, like spouses or other officials, can slow a final bill.
