Stop Insider Trading Act

Sponsor: Rep. Steil, Bryan (R-WI)93 cosponsorsIntroduced Jan 12, 2026
✆
In plain English

Rep. Bryan Steil (R-WI) sponsored this bill, which prohibits members of Congress and their spouses and dependent children from buying stocks and other securities issued by publicly traded companies. Members must file public notice 7 to 14 days before selling such investments, with the notice published online; they can withdraw the notice if they decide not to sell. Violations result in fees equal to the greater of $2,000 or 10% of the transaction value, plus any net gains from the transaction, and in cases of purchases, a requirement to sell the investment. The bill also addresses voter photo identification requirements.

What’s in the bill (2 sections)
