美国众议院以232票赞成、198票反对的结果通过《反内幕交易法案》[1]，对国会议员的股票交易施加限制，这是多年来在该问题上最重要的立法突破[1]。
该法案禁止国会议员、其配偶和受抚养子女购买个人股票[1]。议员可保留现有股票，但出售前必须至少提前7天公开通知[1]。法案豁免了总统、副总统以及共同基金和信托中的某些投资[1]。
共和党人在法案中加入了两项重要条款。其一要求投票者提交照片身份证件，即《保护选举中的身份验证法案》（SAVE Act）的内容[1]；其二豁免了总统的交易禁令[1]。这些修改引发了民主党人的强烈反对。众议院民主党议员乔·莫雷尔评价该法案"简单说，就是一场骗局"[1]，并将投票证件要求称为"毒丸条款"[1]。相比之下，众议院共和党议员布莱恩·施泰尔（威斯康星州）称该法案"具有变革性"[1]。
法案在参议院的前景仍存在不确定性[1]。
The House of Representatives voted 232-198 to advance the Stop Insider Trading Act, marking the most significant legislative progress on congressional stock trading restrictions in years [1]. The measure would prohibit members of Congress, their spouses, and dependent children from purchasing individual stocks [1].
Under the bill's terms, members may retain stocks they already own but must provide at least seven days' public notice before selling [1]. The legislation includes exemptions for presidential and vice presidential trading, as well as certain investments held through mutual funds and trusts [1].
The final version incorporates provisions from Republicans, including a voter identification requirement and language that exempts the president from the trading ban [1]. Democratic Representative Joe Morelle criticized the measure, calling it "quite simply, a sham" and describing the voter identification clause as a "poison pill" [1]. Republican Representative Bryan Steil of Wisconsin characterized the bill as "transformational" [1].
The proposal's fate in the Senate remains uncertain [1]. The legislative push comes as President Trump disclosed more than 3,600 buy and sell transactions during the first quarter of this year [1].
