A Resolution urging the Congress of the United States to ban insider stock trading and betting in prediction markets.
This Pennsylvania Senate resolution urges the U.S. Congress to pass a law banning insider stock trading and betting in prediction markets for top federal officials. The proposed legislation would prohibit members of Congress, the President, the Vice President, and Cabinet members from buying or selling stocks, derivatives, or other securities that could be influenced by their access to nonpublic government information. Additionally, the bill seeks to forbid these officials from placing financial bets on outcomes related to government actions, policy decisions, or national security events. If enacted, the law would require these officials to divest their holdings within a set timeframe and establish an independent authority to enforce penalties for violations.
