Reply to comment by laffingriver in Hawley introduces Pelosi Act banning lawmakers from trading stocks by turbulance4

The text of the bill is easy to find if you google. It prevents purchases by members and spouses, and has a carve out allowing a "blind trust." Could members still get around it by going further out the family chain than spouses? Probably. But some restrictions are better than none.

“blind trust” is meaningless without a definition of what that is written into the bill.

again you can read the text, I saw a definition section when I skimmed it.
