Connected Legislative Activity
10 signalsThese bills and contracts share tickers or sectors with this filing's trades.
A bill to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to impose an annual tax on the net value of assets held by a taxpayer, and for other purposes.
S.3956 is a symbolic bill introduced by Senator Sanders with no near-term path to enactment. It has been stalled in the Senate Finance Committee since introduction on March 2, 2026. There is no actionable market signal, no price data tied to this legislation, and zero probability of passage in the 119th Congress.
Parents Decide Act
HR8250 (Parents Decide Act) introduces mandatory age verification for operating systems, creating new compliance costs and user acquisition friction for AAPL, GOOGL, and MSFT. The bill is early-stage (referred to committee) with no funding appropriation and an uncertain legislative path. Market data shows AAPL and GOOGL near 52-week highs, while MSFT has pulled back 5% in the last week.
Divesting from Communist China’s Military Act of 2026
S. 3640 is an early-stage bill expanding the list of Chinese military companies requiring U.S. investor divestment. It authorizes zero funding, is stuck in committee with only three cosponsors, and poses no tangible near-term market impact. Large financial institutions like Bank of America face modest fee income risk only if the bill advances — currently a procedural non-event.
To amend the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to repeal certain disclosure requirements related to conflict minerals, and for other purposes.
HR7085 would repeal conflict mineral disclosure requirements under Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Act, eliminating $3-12 million in annual compliance costs for each affected company. The bill passed House committee on a party-line 30-24 vote and currently sits on the Union Calendar with no floor vote scheduled. Major technology and automotive manufacturers including Apple, Microsoft, Tesla, Dell, HP, General Motors, and Ford are direct beneficiaries of the reduced regulatory burden.
To amend section 2703 of title 18, United States Code, to require emergency disclosure of location information to law enforcement or public safety answering point.
HR7752 (Kelsey Smith Act) mandates telecom and tech companies to disclose location data to law enforcement without delay in emergencies. The bill imposes compliance costs with no revenue offset, creating a mild headwind for telecom carriers. At early-stage referral with only 4 sponsors, odds of near-term passage are low.
A bill to direct the Director of the Bureau of Justice Statistics to establish a database with respect to corporate offenses, and for other purposes.
The Corporate Crime Database Act of 2026 (S.4104) is an early-stage, unfunded bill that would create a public database of federal corporate enforcement actions. With no appropriations and a procedural status in the Judiciary Committee, the bill poses no immediate financial liability for any company. However, it increases reputational risk visibility for major banks with extensive regulatory histories, including JPMorgan, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo. Market impact is minimal in the near term — BAC trades at $52.88 (7-day +0.78%) and WFC at $81.51 (7-day +1.24%), reflecting no reaction to this bill.
PROTECT Taiwan Act
HR1531 (PROTECT Taiwan Act) is an early-stage bill that authorizes no spending and creates only contingent geopolitical risk for major U.S. banks with Asia exposure. Real market data shows C, BAC, and MS are all trading near their 52-week highs with positive momentum over the last 30 days. No immediate market impact; the bill remains in committee.
Driver Technology and Pedestrian Safety Act of 2025
HR3360 is a non-binding study bill requiring a DOT-contracted National Academies report on touchscreen driver distractions. It authorizes zero funding, imposes no compliance costs, and has no regulatory or market impact on any public company. Single sponsorship and subcommittee-only status make passage highly unlikely.
Deterring Adversarial Access to Americans’ Data Act
HR7509 is an early-stage bill that would deny tax benefits to firms using foreign adversary-controlled technology. At present, it has been referred to the House Ways and Means Committee with no further action. Market impact is minimal — the bill faces a long legislative path and funding mechanism definition is absent.
Protect Liberty and End Warrantless Surveillance Act of 2026
HR7816 is an early-stage bill restricting warrantless commercial data acquisition by intelligence agencies. It poses marginal negative risk to third-party threat intelligence feeds, but cybersecurity companies' core revenues depend on proprietary endpoint/network telemetry, not purchased data. The bill faces a long legislative path with low passage probability in current form. Market data shows cybersecurity stocks with strong 30-day gains (CRWD +13.7%, PANW +11.0%, S +10.6%) despite a slight pullback in the last 7 days.
