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 the rules for how the House will debate a separate bill about banning stock trading and stock ownership by Members of Congress and their spouses and dependent children. It does not itself ban stock trading or change any law. It simply opens the door for the House to take up that separate bill and decide on it through debate and votes .

What this means for people right now: nothing changes today. The resolution is a step in the process. Any real changes—like new limits on stock trading—would come only if the separate bill is later passed by the House and Senate and becomes law .

• Who is affected: Members of Congress and their families (in the separate bill under consideration)
• What changes now: None; this only sets up debate in the House
• When: It applies to the House’s consideration process at the time set by the resolution
