Restrict government officials and staff from trading on confidential government information

Moulton proposes barring federal elected officials, political appointees, executive-branch employees, and congressional staff from trading prediction-market contracts tied to government policy, government action, or political outcomes when they possess material nonpublic information. The restriction applies when they hold that information; it is not a general ban on all prediction-market trading by these groups.
