The bill is a joint resolution from the Montana Legislature urging the United States Congress to enact legislation that would prohibit members of Congress and their immediate families from trading individual stocks. The resolution highlights the expectation that elected representatives act in the public interest rather than for personal financial gain, emphasizing the potential conflicts of interest and undermined public trust that can arise from stock trading by lawmakers. It calls for stronger ethical standards to restore confidence in government institutions and reflects a bipartisan consensus on the need for such restrictions.

Additionally, the resolution mandates that a copy be sent to various key figures in the federal government, including the President and congressional leaders, to advocate for this proposed prohibition. The intent is to affirm Congress's commitment to prioritizing the American people's interests over personal financial considerations, thereby enhancing the integrity of the legislative process.
