To pass a bill requiring public officials to disclose potential trades before engaging in them, you'll need to follow these steps:
1. **Research existing laws and regulations**: Review current laws, such as the STOCK Act (Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge), which already requires certain public officials to report their trades within 30 days of making them.
2. **Draft a proposed bill**: Create a draft of the new law, outlining the specific requirements for disclosure, including the timeframe (1 week before trading) and the duration of the rule (while in office and for 2 years after).
3. **Consult with experts and stakeholders**: Reach out to ethics experts, transparency advocates, and other relevant parties to ensure that the proposed bill is comprehensive and effective.
4. **Meet with lawmakers**: Schedule meetings with representatives from both parties to discuss the proposed bill and gather support.
Here are some key points to consider:
* **Transparency**: The goal of this bill is to increase transparency in public officials' financial dealings, ensuring that their actions do not create unfair advantages or undermine trust.
* **Disclosure requirements**: Clearly outline what information must be disclosed, including the type of trade, the date and time it's expected to occur, and any relevant details about the transaction.
* **Enforcement mechanisms**: Establish a clear process for monitoring compliance and addressing any potential violations.
Some possible ways to structure this bill include:
1. **Amending existing laws**: Update the STOCK Act or other relevant legislation to include the proposed disclosure requirements.
2. **Introducing new legislation**: Create a standalone bill that addresses the specific issue of public officials' trade disclosures.
3. **Combining with other initiatives**: Consider merging this proposal with other transparency-related bills or initiatives to create a more comprehensive package.
The key is to be thorough, consult widely, and present a strong case for why this change is necessary. By doing so, you can help bring about greater accountability and trust in public officials' financial dealings. nostr.fmt.wiz.biz
