Relating to increasing the criminal penalties for insider trading and other misuse of official information.

SB 3041 increases criminal penalties for insider trading and misuse of official information in Texas. It classifies offenses as felonies based on the financial gain achieved: third-degree for gains under $150,000, second-degree for $150,000-$300,000, and first-degree for $300,000 or more. The bill directly affects individuals who profit from illegal insider trading or misuse of confidential information. The changes apply only to offenses committed on or after September 1, 2025.
