Hawley Reintroduces 'PELOSI Act' to Ban Lawmakers from Trading Stocks While in Office

Sen. Josh Hawley is reintroducing legislation to ban lawmakers from trading stocks while in office, rekindling his push for the 'PELOSI Act', which aims to prevent members of Congress and their spouses from profiting from stock trades made during their tenure. The bill was first introduced by Hawley in 2023 but did not pass. This new attempt at legislation seeks to address concerns about lawmakers' financial conflicts of interest. The PELOSI Act would apply to both lawmakers and their immediate family members.
