Congress.gov lists Vindman in the original sponsor block; the bill remains at Introduced status with referral to Oversight and House Administration.

Vindman also backed a related prediction-market bill earlier in the same term. The text is narrower than the pledge because it is conditional on material nonpublic information and does not list immediate family members as covered individuals.
