What happened

Well supportedReported by 13 independent outlets

The U.S. Senate blocked the Stop Insider Trading Act, a bill that had previously passed the House of Representatives. The bill failed a cloture motion 53-47. Under the proposed legislation, members of Congress and their families would have been prohibited from purchasing individual company stocks while serving in office, though they could retain existing holdings. Lawmakers would have been required to file a public notice seven to fourteen days before selling a stock.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The bill aimed to address concerns that lawmakers might use non-public information gained through their government positions to profit in the stock market. The failure of the bill means the proposed restrictions on congressional stock trading will not become law.
