When the public was angry, Congress passed the STOCK act. After the news cycle was over, they repealed disclosure unanimously.

Disclosure still applies for Congress (and POTUS/VP), it was repealed for 28k other gov't employees.

Also, it's mandated 45 days after trades - not in advance as many here are calling for.

Not being specific enough made my comment misleading.

"The amendment also eliminated the requirement for the creation of searchable, sortable database of information in reports, and the requirement that reports be done in electronic format, rather than on paper."
