Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 1908) to prohibit stock trading and ownership by Members of Congress and their spouses and dependent children, and for other purposes.

This bill would prohibit Members of Congress, their spouses, and dependent children from owning or trading stocks, bonds, commodities, futures, and other securities. Current members would have 180 days to divest existing holdings (2 years for hedge funds and venture capital), while new members would have 180 days from taking office to divest. Exceptions include widely held investment funds (if diversified and no conflict), Treasury securities, certain Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act shares, government retirement plans, and small business investments without conflicts. Violations could result in civil penalties up to $100,000 per violation or 10% of the asset's value, and members would need to submit annual certifications of compliance.
