Senate Democrats blocked the leading House-passed measure, H.R. 7008, on a 53-47 cloture vote in late September 2026, falling short of the 60 votes needed amid disputes over scope, existing holdings, and attached voter ID provisions. With the 119th Congress set to adjourn in January 2027, no other stock-trading restriction bills have cleared both chambers, leaving the STOCK Act disclosure rules in place. Partisan divisions and competing legislative priorities have stalled further action despite repeated committee efforts and public support for tighter limits. Traders price the low odds of enactment by year-end as reflecting these entrenched procedural and timing barriers, though a surprise bipartisan breakthrough before adjournment remains a theoretical possibility.
