Joint resolution regarding the purchase and sale of stocks by members of congress

Montana's 69th Legislature passed Joint Resolution LC 2710 urging the U.S. Congress to prohibit members of Congress and their immediate families from trading individual stocks. The resolution cites concerns about conflicts of interest, insider trading risks, and public trust, noting that access to nonpublic information could influence stock market decisions. This procedural resolution does not create new law but formally recommends legislative action to the U.S. Congress. It is addressed to U.S. congressional leaders and Montana's congressional delegation.
