Congressman Josh Riley introduces the bipartisan ETHICS Act to ban stock trading by Congress members and their families.
Quiver AI Summary
Congressman Josh Riley (NY-19) has joined a bipartisan group to introduce the Ending Trading and Holdings in Congressional Stocks (ETHICS) Act, which seeks to ban members of Congress and their immediate families from trading individual stocks and securities. The legislation is supported by several representatives from both parties, including Raja Krishnamoorthi and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Riley emphasized the need for this bill, stating, "If you’re in Congress, you should focus on serving the people, not yourself." The act aims to address concerns about potential conflicts of interest and restore public trust in congressional actions, with strong penalties for violations proposed.
The ETHICS Act proposes that members of Congress either divest from prohibited assets or place them into a Qualified Blind Trust, with many polling data showing that a significant majority of voters support such a ban on stock trading among legislators.
