WASHINGTON, DC—Congressman Jim Himes (CT-4), a member of the House Financial Services Committee, introduced bipartisan legislation today to establish an explicit statutory ban on insider trading. The Insider Trading Prohibition Act makes it a federal crime to trade a security based on material, nonpublic information that was wrongfully obtained, ending decades of ambiguity for a crime that has never been clearly defined by law. Reps. Steve Womack (R-AR) and Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO) are the lead cosponsors of the legislation.
The fairness, integrity and safety of America’s financial markets are severely weakened when corporate insiders and others who wrongfully obtain inside information misuse it, profiting at the expense of other investors and the market as a whole. The lack of a federal insider trading law has forced the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Department of Justice (DOJ) to rely on general anti-fraud statutes and decades of case law subject to interpretation by individual judges.
“The absence of a clear statutory prohibition on insider trading has left us with an amorphous body of case law instead of bright lines around what’s legal and what isn’t,” Himes said. “This haziness opens the door to letting wrongdoers walk free, and provides uncertainty to those who are genuinely trying to operate within the bounds of the law. This isn’t a partisan issue – no one should profit from illegally obtained information. The need for a clear definition of insider trading is particularly important in an era in which complex trades and information literally move at the speed of light. This legislation explicitly defines insider trading and will help ensure that bad actors are held accountable, protect legitimate investors and strengthen confidence and safety in our markets.”
