Ban congressional officials and immediate family members from trading individual stocks

Tim Burchett introduced H.R. 1908, the End Congressional Stock Trading Act. The bill would prohibit members of Congress and their immediate families from owning, trading, or controlling individual stocks, commodities, and futures. It would limit their investments to widely held, diversified mutual funds, index funds, and standard government retirement plans, with the stated goal of preventing lawmakers from using non-public information for personal profit.

Context: This is a proposal in H.R. 1908, not an enacted policy.
