Members of Congress and their families could not own or trade most individual stocks while the Member serves. They would have to sell those assets or use an approved blind trust. Missed deadlines or rule violations could lead to public notices, lost profits, and repeated fines.
Modern Action explains what the legislation does, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
Good Government Act of 2025 is a Senate bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Read twice and referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.
Latest action on S. 3201: Read twice and referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects Members of Congress and their immediate families. Spouses and dependent children would face limits on many personal investments tied to individual stocks or similar assets. Congressional ethics offices would have to review filings, grant limited extensions, hold hearings when needed, collect penalties, and post records online. The public would get more information about whether Members are following the new investment rules.
Why this matters: This bill matters because Members of Congress can make decisions that may affect companies and markets. The bill would reduce the chance that their family investments overlap with official work. It would also make more ethics records public. The real effect on trust, elections, and policy choices is uncertain because the bill does not predict those outcomes.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
