Stop Insider Trading Act

The Senate considered the Stop Insider Trading Act, a bill that would bar Members of Congress and their spouses and dependent children from buying stocks, require public notice before they sell, and impose fees for violations. Senator Van Hollen opposed the bill, saying he supports banning congressional stock trading but arguing that this bill is too weak, leaves loopholes, and includes unrelated voting provisions he called voter suppression. He described it as using new ethics rules to attach unrelated election law.
