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. Despite strong bipartisan momentum—including the House's April passage of the ETHICS Act (219-186) and a July Senate cloture vote of 88-11 advancing a stock trading ban in the NDAA—negotiators dropped the provision from the final defense bill signed in December, stalling progress amid end-of-session gridlock. Recent member trade disclosures and public polling showing 70%+ support have intensified calls for action, with both presidential nominees endorsing a ban, yet traders price "No" at 71% reflecting doubts over Senate filibuster hurdles (needing 60 votes), lame-duck session uncertainties post-November 5 elections, and competing priorities like appropriations and debt ceiling in the incoming 119th Congress convening January 2025. Historical failures despite repeated introductions underscore institutional resistance.
