About
The issue of congressional stock trading has been a subject of controversy and reform efforts. In 2012, the STOCK Act was passed, making it illegal for lawmakers to trade on inside information. However, the law did not ban stock trading outright, and many members of Congress continue to engage in the practice, often with significant financial gains. This has raised concerns about conflicts of interest and the potential for lawmakers to profit from their official positions. Recent scandals, such as the COVID-19 pandemic trading controversy involving Sen. Richard Burr, have heightened public scrutiny and calls for stricter regulations. Bipartisan efforts to reform the STOCK Act have been ongoing, with proposals including the ETHICS Act, which would ban lawmakers, their spouses, and dependent children from trading individual stocks.
