Bill Summary
A Resolution urging the Congress of the United States to advance and enact the Restore Trust in Congress Act to prohibit stock trading by members of Congress and their immediate family members.
AI Summary
This resolution, passed by the Senate of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, urges the United States Congress to pass the Restore Trust in Congress Act, or similar legislation, which would ban members of Congress and their immediate family members from trading individual stocks. The resolution highlights concerns that such trading can undermine public confidence in government, create the perception of personal enrichment over public service, and potentially involve the use of nonpublic policy information, especially given recent stock market volatility. It emphasizes that this is a bipartisan issue aimed at ensuring transparency, accountability, and ethical conduct at the federal level, with the ultimate goal of prioritizing the public trust above personal financial gain.
