AI Summary
This bill, the Member Financial Transparency Act, amends the Ethics in Government Act of 1978 to require members of Congress to file reports on their transactions in stocks, bonds, commodities futures, and other securities within 7 days after the transactions are completed, rather than the current 45-day deadline.
