Banning Executive Stock Trading Before Public Disclosure of Major Company Events.
This Act aims to increase fairness in the financial markets by prohibiting company directors and executive officers from trading securities during the period when they know about a major event but before that information is officially disclosed to the public. These rules protect ordinary investors from being disadvantaged by insiders using non-public information. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) must issue detailed rules within one year, requiring companies to implement strict internal trading policies.
