Bill overview
The Ban Congressional Stock Trading Act aims to prevent members of Congress, their spouses, and dependent children from trading in stocks and other investments. It requires these individuals to place certain assets into qualified blind trusts, effectively removing them from their direct control. The bill establishes definitions for key terms like ‘covered investment’ and ‘qualified blind trust,’ and sets deadlines for divestment or placement in these trusts. It also includes reporting requirements to increase transparency.
