Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 1908) to prohibit stock trading and ownership by Members of Congress and their spouses and dependent children, and for other purposes.

This measure sets up House debate on a bill that would ban stock trading and stock ownership by Members of Congress and their spouses and dependent children. It does not itself create the ban; it opens the door for the House to consider and vote on that policy. The goal is to reduce conflicts of interest and increase public trust in Congress .

Key points:

• Who is affected: Members of Congress, their spouses, and their dependent children .
• What changes: This measure schedules consideration of a bill to prohibit them from trading or owning stocks; no direct change takes effect from this measure alone .
• When: Timing for debate is set by the measure; any actual ban would depend on the separate bill passing both chambers and becoming law .
