Despite multiple bipartisan bills introduced in the 119th Congress, including the Stop Insider Trading Act advanced by House Republicans on a party-line vote in the House Administration Committee in January 2026 and newer measures like Rep. Stevens' No Getting Rich in Congress Act in March, no legislation has reached a floor vote or presidential signature. Critics from both parties and watchdog groups decry proposed restrictions as loophole-ridden, allowing existing stock holdings while only limiting new purchases by members, spouses, and dependents. With the narrow House majority focused on appropriations, debt ceiling deadlines, and government funding continuing resolutions, traders' 88% consensus on "No" reflects entrenched self-interest among trading lawmakers and repeated historical stalls on ethics reforms, though a discharge petition or lame-duck push could shift dynamics before year-end.
