Bipartisan Bill Introduced to Ban Stock Trading and Prediction Market Betting by Senior Officials Across All Three Federal Branches

Representatives Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA-1) and Maggie Goodlander (D-NH-2) introduced the Public Service Accountability Act, a bipartisan bill that would prohibit senior officials across all three branches of the federal government from trading individual stocks or participating in prediction markets during their federal service. The legislation aims to establish a clear, government-wide standard to address conflicts of interest and restore public trust.
