Congress braces for a pivotal vote on the Stop Insider Trading Act, a new bill aiming to curb lawmakers’ stock trading by banning purchases of individual stocks while in office, requiring seven-day advance notice before selling, and boosting penalties up to $2,000 or 10% of the trade value. Though past attempts to regulate trading have stalled over enforcement details, public pressure is mounting for accountability. Critics argue the bill doesn’t go far enough—especially since it excludes other branches of government—and some Democrats question why selling stocks with notice is still allowed. With time running out and Senate hurdles looming, this vote could reshape transparency in Washington—or stall again amid competing priorities.
