The House of Representatives passed the Stop Insider Trading Act in July 2026 on a 232-198 vote, prohibiting members, spouses, and dependents from purchasing new individual stocks while allowing existing holdings and requiring advance notice for sales. The measure, introduced by Rep. Bryan Steil and received in the Senate on July 23, has seen no further action, with companion Senate legislation remaining in committee. Full-ban proposals introduced by both parties have not advanced, and Senate procedural hurdles—including the 60-vote threshold—combined with the limited remaining 2026 calendar make enactment before December 31 unlikely. These developments sustain trader consensus around an 85.5% probability that no qualifying ban takes effect before 2027.
