This resolution amends Rule XXXVII of the Standing Rules of the Senate to impose new ethical restrictions on its members and staff. It specifically prohibits Senators, officers, and employees of the Senate from engaging in prediction market trading. The amendment bans any agreement or transaction involving an "excluded commodity" whose value or outcome is dependent on the occurrence, non-occurrence, or extent of a specific event or contingency. This aims to prevent conflicts of interest arising from financial speculation on future events. Furthermore, the resolution expresses the Sense of the Senate that the House of Representatives, executive branch, and judicial branch should establish similar restrictions on prediction market participation.
