The House approved the Stop Insider Trading Act on July 22, 2026, by a 232-198 margin, with all Republicans and 13 Democrats voting in favor. The legislation, introduced by Rep. Bryan Steil in January, prohibits new stock purchases by members of Congress, spouses, and dependents while requiring seven-day advance disclosure of sales and attaching a voter ID provision. Penalties include fines of at least $2,000 or 10 percent of transaction value plus forfeiture of gains.
