Summary
The bill adds a new subchapter to the federal ethics code that bars any member of the House or Senate – and anyone living in the same household – from participating in prediction markets. It requires annual certification of compliance and sets fines for violations. The aim is to prevent conflicts of interest and the appearance of insider trading by lawmakers.
