Ban Representatives, their staff, and House officers from participating in prediction markets.
Occurrences
Evidence
Today Congresswoman Dina Titus (NV-01) introduced a resolution that would ban Representatives and their staff members from participating in prediction markets. This legislation would amend House rules to prohibit Members of Congress, their staff, and House officers from entering into any financial agreement or contract involving an "excluded commodity" as defined under the Commodity Exchange Act.
Last Action Date Listed: April 30, 2026. Action: Ms. Titus submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Ethics, and in addition to the Committees on the Judiciary, and Oversight and Government Reform, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
Assessments
Titus introduced H. Res. 1248 on April 30, 2026, matching the promised subject and scope by seeking to amend House rules to bar Representatives, staff, and House officers from participating in covered prediction-market contracts. The official status cited shows only introduction and referral to committees, with no adoption or rule change yet. Because the promised ban has not taken effect but the measure remains pending and represents a serious same-term effort, the promise is not fulfilled yet rather than delivered.
