New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz have joined forces to introduce a bill banning lawmakers, their spouses, or dependents from trading stocks.

House Problem Solvers Caucus co-chair Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Penn., and Democratic Illinois Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi joined the pair in introducing the Bipartisan Restoring Faith in Government Act on Tuesday.

The bill further grants lawmakers a 90-day window during which they must divest themselves of their existing stocks. Moreover, should the spouse of a lawmaker receive "any financial instrument" as compensation for their main employment, they will have 90 days to sell it from the date they are contractually permitted to do so.

A bit too much. I'd rather see a blind trust with trades limited to one period per quarter and very stiff (jail) for trading communications between the trust and the congress critter.
