Amending the Rules of the House of Representatives to prohibit Members, officers, and employees of the House of Representatives from participating in prediction markets in certain cases, and for other purposes.
This bill proposes to ban Members, officers, and employees of the House of Representatives from trading in prediction markets that bet on specific events or contingencies. The rule would prohibit these individuals from entering into contracts or agreements involving excluded commodities, though it explicitly allows for standard insurance policies and legal sports betting. Additionally, the resolution expresses the House's preference that the executive and judicial branches adopt similar restrictions to prevent conflicts of interest.
