It allows sole-source contracts, leases of academy property for athletics, and retains licensing fees from USMMA trademarks for athletic program use. The bill specifically targets USMMA’s athletic programs and their funding structure, with no impact on other institutions or general government operations.

HR 7008, the Stop Insider Trading Act, restricts Members of Congress, their spouses, and dependent children from purchasing certain investments like stocks in publicly traded companies.
