## Summary

**This bill would ban trading on nonpublic, prioritized social-media information tied to covered government officials.** It would also stop platforms from selling or otherwise providing early or faster access that lets some people trade before the public. - Traders and investors: Would be prohibited from buying, selling, or causing trades based on prioritized nonpublic information from those accounts. Violations connected to securities would be enforced by the SEC and those tied to commodities by the CFTC. - Social platforms: Would be unlawful for platforms to knowingly offer or sell prioritized access to covered social accounts. Civil penalties could require platforms to forfeit the revenue they earned from the offending prioritized access. - Government and first responders: Federal, state, Tribal, territorial, and local agencies or first responders could still receive prioritized delivery for public health or emergency communications at no fee to third parties. - Rulemaking and enforcement: The SEC and CFTC would need to issue joint implementing rules within 180 days, and the Attorney General could bring civil actions to recover penalties for platform violations.
