A bill to amend the Commodity Exchange Act to ban certain Government officials from trading event contracts, and for other purposes.

S. 4017 would amend the Commodity Exchange Act to restrict government officials from trading event contracts. Event contracts are financial instruments that allow people to bet on the outcomes of future events. The bill would prevent specified government officials from participating in this type of trading, potentially to avoid conflicts of interest or the appearance of impropriety. If enacted, the bill would establish new restrictions on what financial activities certain federal employees and officials are permitted to engage in while holding their positions. The bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process, having been introduced in the Senate on March 5, 2026, and referred to committee for consideration.
