Eliminating Executive Branch Insider Trading Act
The bill bans executive branch officials and their spouses from holding, buying, or selling certain financial assets (like stocks, bonds, or derivatives) during their service. It directly affects senior government employees, including the President, Vice President, and those in positions equivalent to GS-15 or higher pay grades, along with their spouses. Exceptions include a 180-day transition period for current officials and holdings in qualified blind trusts. Violations require returning profits and may result in fines up to $10,000, with annual audits by the Government Accountability Office to monitor compliance.
