S 4134

This bill, the Stop Insider Trading Act, aims to prevent members of Congress and their families from using non-public information for financial gain. It establishes restrictions on investments for covered individuals, which include members of Congress, their spouses, and dependent children. The bill requires advance notice and disclosure of any planned sales of covered investments, and it creates a system for enforcing these rules through fines and potential sale of purchased investments. It also provides for a 180-day delay before the new rules take effect.
