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.
HRES 725 is a procedural resolution that would allow the U.S. House of Representatives to immediately consider H.R. 1908, the "Restore Trust in Congress Act." This bill would prohibit Members of Congress, their spouses, and dependent children from owning or trading most stocks, bonds, commodities, or derivatives (referred to as "covered investments"). Key exceptions include U.S. Treasury securities, diversified mutual funds, small business interests, and primary residences. The bill requires immediate divestment of prohibited investments within 90-180 days, imposes penalties of 10% of the investment value plus profit disgorgement for violations, and includes specific rules for trusts and inherited assets.
