Frequently Asked Questions

What is the STOCK Act?

The Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act of 2012 prohibits members of Congress from using nonpublic information for personal financial gain and requires them to disclose stock trades within 45 days of the transaction.

How long do members of Congress have to report stock trades?

Under the STOCK Act, members of Congress must file a Periodic Transaction Report (PTR) within 45 days of any stock trade exceeding $1,000.

What happens if a member of Congress violates the STOCK Act?

The penalty for late filing is a $200 fine, which can be waived by the Ethics Committee. Critics argue this fine is too small to be an effective deterrent for members of Congress.

How does PolitAlpha calculate disclosure delays?

PolitAlpha calculates the gap in calendar days between the trade date (tx_date) and the filing date (filed_date) for each disclosed trade. The STOCK Act requires filing within 45 days.
