Source-referenced filing screen · Updated July 30, 2026

STOCK Act violations list: who filed late?

A current list of members of Congress whose public stock disclosures crossed the 45-day reporting window, with filing IDs and stable evidence links. Plus: what counts as a violation, what the $200 penalty really means, and why late disclosure is not the same as insider trading.

The direct answer

There is no official, complete public list of STOCK Act violators.

The House and Senate publish the underlying disclosures, but fee decisions and waivers can remain hidden. The best-known “78 members” list is a historical newsroom investigation last updated in January 2023. It is not a live count for the current Congress.

Kapitol’s narrower, reproducible screen currently finds 27 lawmakers in 31 source filings containing 1,021 transaction rows reported more than 45 days after their transaction dates. The latest included filing is dated Jul 21, 2026.

Members of Congress with source filings beyond 45 days

This table tests one fact visible in the public record: whether the reported filing date came more than 45 calendar days after the reported trade date. It excludes the imported 2012–2025 historical archive and preserves the newest represented filing ID for each member.

House filing fallback active

The House Clerk archive is currently redirecting away from its disclosure PDFs. House rows therefore open the corresponding Kapitol record and retain the official filing ID; Senate links still open the official filing directly.

Read the counts carefully

A PTR can contain one trade or hundreds. “Transaction rows” therefore does not mean separate filings, penalties, or final ethics findings. Amended filings can also change how a disclosure appears. This screen cannot detect a trade that was never reported, and it cannot know the private date on which a filer first learned of a broker-executed transaction.

Current screened source-filing range: Jan 9, 2026 through Jul 21, 2026. Results refresh from Kapitol’s first-party House and Senate filing dataset.

What actually counts as a late STOCK Act disclosure?

The STOCK Act added Periodic Transaction Reports, or PTRs, for qualifying purchases, sales, and exchanges over $1,000 by a member, spouse, or dependent child. The filing rule is slightly more precise than the shorthand “45 days.”

House rule

The earlier of two deadlines

1.30 days after the filer becomes aware of the transaction; or
2.45 days after the transaction date.

House guidance says PTR extensions are not permitted. It also says all late PTR submissions face a minimum $200 fee, with possible additional fees for multiple late filings.

House Ethics 2025 instruction guide (PDF)

Senate guidance

No later than 45 days

Senate ethics training says qualifying transactions over $1,000 must be reported no later than 45 days after the transaction. It says reports more than 30 days late are subject to a mandatory $200 penalty.

The same training says a filer may request a waiver and that penalty and waiver information is nonpublic. That opacity is one reason no outside publisher can build a complete official enforcement register.

“Violation” can mean four different things

Search results often mix filing delays, watchdog allegations, ethics findings, and insider-trading investigations into one list. Those categories are not interchangeable.

Label	What is established	What is not established
45-day filing screen	The public filing date is more than 45 days after the reported trade date.	Whether a fee was assessed, waived, or paid; whether an amendment explains the delay.
Fee confirmed	An ethics body or member’s office confirms a late fee or payment.	Insider trading, intent, or a broader conflict-of-interest violation.
Complaint or referral	A watchdog or the Office of Congressional Ethics alleges facts warrant review.	A final House or Senate finding. An allegation must remain labeled as an allegation.
Insider-trading inquiry	Authorities examined whether trading involved material nonpublic information.	Guilt, unless a court or enforcement action actually establishes it.

Recent documented cases show why labels matter

Three cases illustrate the range: a massive late filing visible directly in source data, a repeat late disclosure reported by a newsroom, and a rare official House Ethics report.

Late disclosure documented July 2026

Alan Armstrong: roughly 700 tardy transaction lines

NOTUS reported that Sen. Alan Armstrong disclosed roughly 700 personal stock trades more than two months after the 45-day deadline. The disclosed ranges totaled between $3.24 million and $16.05 million. This is the clearest example of why filing count and transaction-row count must stay separate: hundreds of trades appeared in one disclosure event.

Repeat late filing reported July 2026

Dan Crenshaw: two Meta options transactions

Crenshaw reported an April purchase and May sale of Meta options about a month past the federal deadline, according to NOTUS. The transactions were late disclosures; that fact alone does not establish that the options were traded on confidential information. It was also not his first reported filing problem.

Official House Ethics report July 2025

Mike Kelly: a fourth late PTR and an ordered $200 payment

The House Ethics Committee said Kelly’s June 2024 disclosure of his wife’s March 28 Cleveland-Cliffs purchase was late, identified it as his fourth late PTR, and directed him to pay an outstanding $200 fee. The same report said the Cleveland-Cliffs concerns did not rise to insider trading or a clearly established conflict-of-interest violation. Its formal reproval centered on Kelly’s duty of candor and cooperation with the committee.

What happened to the famous 78-member list?

Business Insider and other newsrooms identified 78 members who had recently failed to report financial trades correctly. That reporting remains the dominant Google result because it did what the government did not: it assembled names into one readable register.

But its article was last updated on January 3, 2023 and largely reflects cases from the 117th Congress. Members left office, new members arrived, and later disclosures created a different current roster. The number 78 should therefore be cited as a historical investigation total, not the number of violators today.

The Campaign Legal Center has separately filed complaints involving untimely or undisclosed trades and argues that weak, opaque enforcement undermines the law. A watchdog complaint is valuable evidence that a matter deserves review, but it still is not the same thing as a final ethics ruling.

Why a definitive public list does not exist

Self-reporting

The system starts with members, spouses, brokers, and offices correctly identifying and filing every covered transaction.

Private waiver decisions

House and Senate materials both permit waivers, while key penalty and waiver information is not made public.

Fragmented outcomes

Disclosures, watchdog complaints, OCE referrals, committee reports, and criminal inquiries live in separate systems.

That is also why a mechanically reproducible list is useful. It can show exactly which rows crossed an objective 45-day threshold and link the evidence. It cannot replace an ethics committee, infer intent, or declare insider trading.

What changes next?

The House voted for a new restriction. It is not law.

The House passed H.R. 7008 on July 22, 2026. The bill would generally stop covered lawmakers and family members from making new purchases of individual public-company securities, while allowing existing holdings and noticed sales. House leaders also attached federal voter-ID provisions to the package. The Senate has not passed it, so the existing STOCK Act disclosure rules still govern every filing on this page.

Methodology and limitations

1 Kapitol ingests transaction rows from the House Clerk Legislative Resource Center and Senate eFD search.
2 The screen includes a row only when both dates are known and filed_at − traded_at > 45 days. Rows at 45 days are not included.
3 Members are grouped by Bioguide ID where available. Filing totals use the chamber plus source document ID so hundreds of trades in one PTR remain one source filing.
4 The screen deliberately excludes Kapitol’s imported historical archive. It reflects first-party filing data available in the date range shown above, not every STOCK Act case since 2012.
5 Inclusion is not a claim of criminal insider trading, corrupt intent, or a final ethics judgment. Corrections, amendments, filer-awareness dates, and nonpublic waivers can require legal context beyond the source-date calculation.

Frequently asked questions

Is there an official STOCK Act violations list?

No. The House and Senate publish financial disclosures, but neither chamber maintains a complete public master list of late filings, assessed fees, granted waivers, ethics complaints, and final findings. That is why lists from different publishers can contain different names and totals.

Which members of Congress violated the STOCK Act?

Kapitol’s current 45-day screen identifies 27 lawmakers across 31 source filings. Those filings contain 1,021 transaction rows reported more than 45 days after the trade date. The screen is a filing-delay test, not an official ethics adjudication. Business Insider’s often-cited 78-member list was a historical investigation last updated in January 2023, not a current 2026 total.

How long does Congress have to report a stock trade?

For House filers, a Periodic Transaction Report is due by the earlier of 30 days after the filer learns of the transaction or 45 days after the transaction. Senate guidance states that qualifying transactions over $1,000 are due no later than 45 days after the transaction.

What is the penalty for filing a congressional stock trade late?

House guidance says every late Periodic Transaction Report is subject to a minimum $200 fee and that multiple late reports may produce additional fees. The committee may waive a fee in extraordinary circumstances, but the request and response are not public. Senate guidance says reports more than 30 days late face a mandatory $200 penalty and that penalty and waiver information is nonpublic.

Does a late STOCK Act disclosure prove insider trading?

No. A late disclosure is a transparency and filing-compliance issue. Proving insider trading requires separate evidence that a person traded while possessing material nonpublic information in breach of a duty. A complaint, investigation, late filing, or suspicious trade timing is not by itself proof of that offense.

Why can one filing show hundreds of late trades?

A single Periodic Transaction Report can contain many transaction lines. Kapitol counts source filings and transaction rows separately so a 700-line report is not presented as 700 separate filings, fines, or final ethics findings.

Is the 78-member STOCK Act list current?

No. The 78-member figure comes from reporting published during the 117th Congress and last updated on January 3, 2023. It remains useful historical evidence of widespread noncompliance, but it does not describe the current Congress or include later filings.

The deadline is only the first filter.

Kapitol.ai reads the raw disclosures, removes the noise, and explains the trades with a real timing, committee, or policy angle.
