This market will resolve to "Yes" if any bill with the effect of banning sitting members of the US congress from trading stocks is signed into law by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the US federal government, however a consensus of credible reporting will also be used. Recent House passage of the limited Stop Insider Trading Act in July 2026, which restricts new stock purchases by members and families but permits retention of existing holdings, has not advanced prospects for a comprehensive trading prohibition. The measure cleared the House on a 232-198 vote yet faces an uncertain Senate path, with stronger Senate bills like S.1879 remaining stalled in committee since 2025 amid partisan differences over scope and enforcement. Legislative calendars, competing priorities in the 119th Congress, and institutional resistance to full divestiture requirements continue to limit momentum, supporting trader consensus that enactment of a ban meeting the market criteria is unlikely before the December 31, 2026 resolution deadline.
