Summary

The bill bars any elected or appointed state or local official and their employees from maintaining accounts, trading, or helping others trade on prediction markets, and from holding a financial interest in firms that run those markets. It also forbids receiving any compensation from such firms, while allowing limited passive investments and participation in research or education. The goal is to prevent conflicts of interest and misuse of insider information.
