Amending the Rules of the House of Representatives to prohibit Members of the House from entering into certain agreements, contracts, or transactions with respect to prediction markets.
This resolution proposes to ban Members of the House, along with their officers and employees, from participating in prediction market contracts or transactions. The rule specifically prohibits these individuals from entering agreements where payments depend on whether a specific real-world event occurs or how much it happens. While the ban is strict, it allows for standard insurance policies where the person has a legitimate financial interest in the outcome. Additionally, the resolution expresses a preference that the executive and judicial branches adopt similar restrictions on prediction market participation.
