Ban Stock Trading for Government Officials Act of 2023

This bill prohibits the President, Vice President, Members of Congress, and certain high-ranking executive branch officials from holding or trading stocks, securities, and commodities that could create conflicts of interest. It requires these individuals to divest any existing holdings within 180 days of assuming office and bans them from buying, selling, or holding such investments during their service. Violations would result in fines (up to 10% of the investment value) and the requirement to return any profits gained from prohibited transactions. The bill also mandates electronic filing and public disclosure of financial information through government websites, making it easier for the public to access and search these records.
