Bill overview
This resolution aims to prevent members of Congress, including Representatives, Delegates, and Resident Commissioners, from owning shares in individual public companies. It does this by amending the House of Representatives’ rules, specifically Rule XXIII of the Code of Official Conduct. The goal is to reduce potential conflicts of interest and promote transparency in congressional decision-making. This measure seeks to ensure that members of Congress do not benefit personally from their stock holdings.
