From Washington: Members of Congress can currently buy and sell stocks, as long as they disclose their trades. A new bill aims to change this, banning certain government officials from owning and trading stocks. This legislation is a response to concerns that current rules are not enough to prevent corruption. Some lawmakers believe that the ability to trade stocks can lead to unethical behavior. Further details about the proposed bill and its supporters are available. The goal of the legislation is to increase transparency and prevent potential conflicts of interest.
A law already in place prohibits using non-public information for trading.
