NO STOCK Resolution

HRES 491, the "NO STOCK Resolution," would amend House rules to prohibit Members of Congress from owning stocks in individual companies. This rule change would require current House members (including Delegates and Resident Commissioners) to sell any existing holdings of company shares and ban future ownership of such stocks. The provision specifically targets common stock in specific public corporations, not broader investments like mutual funds or retirement accounts. If adopted, this would be a procedural change to the House's Code of Conduct, directly affecting all current and future House members' financial investments.
