## Summary

**Ban on prediction-market trading by House officials.** This bill would prohibit House officials from entering into trades or agreements that depend on the occurrence of specific events tied to an "excluded commodity" under the Commodity Exchange Act. - Members, Delegates, the Resident Commissioner, and House officers and employees would be barred from entering into any agreement, contract, swap, or transaction that provides for purchase, sale, payment, or delivery of an excluded commodity that depends on a specific event or contingency. - The prohibition would not apply to insurance where the insured holds a lawful insurable interest and would not apply to lawful sports wagers. - The bill would express the sense that the executive branch and the judicial branch should adopt similar restrictions on participation in prediction markets.
