This week, House Republicans are going to take an important step to restore Americans' faith and trust in Congress and in American elections with the Stop Insider Trading Act.

Johnson committed to advancing the Stop Insider Trading Act, which he described as banning Members of Congress from buying individual publicly traded stocks and helping stop officials from profiting from inside information.

Senator Moody's office stated she moved for unanimous consent on H.R. 7008 after House passage; the release says the act would generally prohibit Members of Congress, spouses, and dependent children from purchasing stocks and require public notice before selling stocks, and that Senate Democrats objected to the measure.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): A Senate unanimous-consent attempt failed after House passage, indicating the bill had not cleared Congress or become law as of this later Senate action.

The promised outcome was a federal ban enacted through the Stop Insider Trading Act. H.R. 7008 passed the House on July 22, 2026, and Mike Johnson voted yes, which is a serious same-term legislative effort. But the bill had not passed the Senate or become law, and a later Senate unanimous-consent attempt failed. Because the ban was not enacted, the promise was not delivered, though Johnson gets an effort badge for supporting House passage.
