Senators Introduce Bipartisan Ban Stock Trading for Government Officials Act

Senators Kristen Gillibrand and Josh Hawley have recently introduced the Ban Stock Trading for Government Officials Act, a bipartisan effort aimed at prohibiting stock trading, stock ownership, and the use of blind trusts by government officials. This legislation aims to promote transparency, integrity, and accountability within government by eliminating potential conflicts of interest that arise from stock investments and trading. The proposed bill seeks to ensure that public servants dedicate their full attention to their duties and responsibilities, free from any perceived or actual financial influence.
