GOP Stock-Trading Bill Advances, Critics Cite Weakened Restrictions
House Republicans advanced the Stop Insider Trading Act, a bill imposing limited stock trading restrictions on lawmakers and their families. While barring new individual stock purchases, the bill allows members to maintain and sell existing stock with advance notice and reinvest dividends, prompting criticism from Democrats who argue the loopholes undermine the intent of a comprehensive ban and fail to address public concerns about potential conflicts of interest. The bill's passage through committee signals a potential shift in market oversight for congressional members, though its ultimate impact remains uncertain given the controversy surrounding its provisions.
