H.R. 7008 — Stop Insider Trading Act

This section prohibits Members of Congress, their spouses, and dependent children from purchasing securities or synthetic interests in publicly traded companies. It requires 7 to 14 calendar days of advance public notice before any sale of such investments. It imposes a fee of $2,000 or 10 percent of the transaction value (whichever is greater) plus any net gains realized, requires sale of prohibited purchases, and bars payment of fees from Members’ Representational Allowance or Senators’ Official Personnel and Office Expense Account. It exempts occupational trades by a spouse or dependent child and automatic dividend reinvestments.

This section requires voters to present valid photo identification to cast a ballot in federal elections. In-person voters must show a state driver's license, state ID, U.S. passport, Department of Defense or Veterans Affairs photo ID, or tribal photo ID with expiration date; those without ID may cast a provisional ballot and cure it within three days by presenting ID or a religious objection affidavit. Mail and absentee voters must submit a copy of valid photo ID, the last four digits of their Social Security number plus an inability-to-obtain affidavit, or a notarized ballot, with exceptions for uniformed services and certain elderly or handicapped voters. States must provide free public access to copying devices at government buildings and notify applicants of the requirements during voter registration.
