Member promotes Stock Act 2 and a binding Supreme Court ethics code
Summary
Representative Minh described H.R. 3779 (Stock Act 2) to strengthen disclosure and penalties for stock trading by public officials and highlighted a companion bill to require a binding code of ethics for Supreme Court justices with enforcement mechanisms, saying these reforms aim to restore public trust.
Representative Minh told the Judiciary Committee he had introduced H.R. 3779, described as "Stock Act 2," to tighten disclosure, increase penalties for noncompliance, and curb conflicts of interest involving congressional stock trading. He said the bill would improve filing and disclosure requirements and increase penalties to ensure transparency and accountability across branches.
Minh also highlighted Representative Hank Johnson's Supreme Court ethics, recusal and transparency bill, which would require justices to adopt a binding code of ethics and establish an enforcement mechanism for misconduct complaints. Minh said both measures aim to restore public trust in institutions and that his office will coordinate with colleagues across party lines on anti-corruption efforts, including a new Congressional Progressive Caucus task force he chairs.
The member concluded his remarks and yielded back; no committee action was recorded during the member day.
