Public Law 112–105 (STOCK Act), enacted April 4, 2012, makes it unlawful for Members of Congress and congressional employees to use nonpublic information derived from their positions for personal benefit and includes provisions requiring certain financial disclosure information be made available electronically.

The enacted statute (Pub. L. 112–105) is the official legal text of the STOCK Act and shows the law both extended insider-trading prohibitions to Members/employees of Congress and provided for electronic/public access to specified financial disclosure forms.

The Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act (Pub. L. 112-105) was signed into law April 4, 2012 and explicitly extended insider-trading prohibitions to Members and congressional employees and required certain financial disclosure forms be made publicly available online. The Senate passed S.2038 by a 96-3 vote on Feb 2, 2012, and Gillibrand was a leading advocate for the measure per her Senate office release. These facts show the promised ban on insider trading by Congress and the online disclosure requirement were enacted while she was in office.

The STOCK Act was enacted on April 4, 2012 while Gillibrand was serving as U.S. Senator from New York in the same federal office context as the 2012 Senate campaign. The enacted bill covered the promised substance: applying insider-trading prohibitions to Members and congressional employees and requiring timely public online financial transaction disclosures. Evidence also credits Gillibrand as a leading advocate for Senate passage, so the promise is fully delivered with candidate contribution.
