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. Trader consensus on Polymarket prices a congressional stock trading ban before 2027 at just 21% likely, with "No" at 79%, driven by persistent legislative gridlock despite recent bipartisan introductions. Sens. Bill Cassidy and Pete Ricketts unveiled the Stop Insider Trading Act (S.4134) on March 18, echoing Rep. Haley Stevens' No Getting Rich in Congress Act from March 5, while H.R.7008 advanced from House Administration Committee in early February but awaits a floor vote. Historical patterns show similar bills stalling in prior sessions due to filibuster risks, loophole criticisms, and competing priorities like recent prediction market regulations, leaving scant time in the 119th Congress for passage, enactment, and presidential signature.
