Bill Text

Version IH
Rule XXIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives is amended—
by redesignating clause 22 as clause 23; and
by inserting after clause 21 the following:
No Member, Delegate, Resident Commissioner, officer, or employee of the House of Representatives may enter into, or offer to enter into, an agreement, contract, swap, or transaction that provides for any purchase, sale, payment, or delivery of an excluded commodity, as defined in section 1a of the Commodity Exchange Act (7 U.S.C. 1a), that is dependent on the occurrence, nonoccurrence, or the extent of the occurrence of a specific event or contingency. Nothing in this clause shall be construed to apply to insurance for which the insured holds a lawful insurable interest.
It is the sense of the House of Representatives that the executive branch and judicial branch should establish restrictions similar to those added to the Rules of the House of Representatives under section 1 relating to participation in prediction markets.
