## Summary

**A ban on Members of Congress and their spouses and dependent children owning or trading certain investments during federal service.** It sets clear definitions for covered investments, deadlines for divestiture, narrow exemptions, and penalties to curb conflicts of interest and increase transparency. - Members of Congress and families: Prohibits direct or indirect ownership or trading of defined “covered investments” while serving. People covered on enactment must divest within 180 days and those who become covered afterward have 90 days to divest. - Ethics offices and enforcement: The supervising ethics office issues guidance, can grant extensions for liquidity or vesting, and manages Certificates of Divestiture tied to tax rules. Violations carry a 10 percent fee of the investment value, disgorgement of profits, and public posting of assessed fines, with payments to the Treasury. - Trusts and narrow exceptions: Qualified Blind Trusts must be divested while Family Trust exemptions are allowed only if covered individuals did not contribute, act as grantor, or control the trust. An Occupational Exception lets a spouse or dependent trade when it matches their primary job.
