Bill Summary

This bill would prevent people working on political campaigns from trading contracts related to political events when they have access to secret campaign information that hasn't been shared with the public. It would also require prediction market platforms (websites where people bet on future events) to put safeguards in place to stop insider trading and market manipulation. The rules aim to keep campaign insiders from profiting unfairly by using confidential information they learn through their work.
