This legislation aims to restrict financial activities for Members of Congress, their spouses, and dependent children by prohibiting them from owning or trading certain covered investments . These investments broadly include securities, commodities, futures, and comparable economic interests acquired through synthetic means like derivatives. However, the bill provides specific exclusions for widely held diversified investment funds, U.S. Treasury bonds, state or municipal bonds, compensation from employment, small business interests, and real estate LLCs for personal residences. The intent is to enhance public trust by mitigating potential conflicts of interest. To comply, covered individuals must divest any existing prohibited investments at fair market value within 180 days of the bill's enactment, or 90 days if they become a covered individual later. Certificates of divestiture are available for tax purposes. Exceptions exist for occupational trading by spouses or dependents if the investment is not owned by a covered individual, and for certain family trusts where the covered individual has no control or contributed assets. Non-compliance incurs a penalty equal to 10% of the investment's value and disgorgement of any profits, with these penalties explicitly prohibited from being paid using official or campaign funds. Supervising ethics offices are mandated to publish details of all assessed fines.
