## Summary

**Stronger conflict-of-interest rules for congressional earmarks and limited tax or tariff benefits.** This resolution would expand disqualifying financial interests beyond a spouse to include immediate family members, entities where they hold a material financial interest, and business assets that could reasonably be expected to appreciate because of an earmark's location. - Members of Congress would face a broader certification rule that bars seeking earmarks or limited tax or tariff benefits when a spouse, immediate family member, or a related entity holds a material financial interest. - Immediate family members and any entity in which they hold a material financial interest would be barred from having direct or indirect financial interests tied to those earmarks or benefits. - Owners of nearby business assets would be covered if an asset's value could reasonably be expected to rise due to the earmark's intended location.
