STOCK Act Violations List: Late Stock Trade Disclosures
Politician Stock Tracker
Searches for a STOCK Act violations list usually mean one thing: which politicians filed stock trades after the legal deadline? The STOCK Act requires disclosure within 45 days of a transaction. Our public-data tracker identifies 3,002 trades that missed that window.
The short answer
We treat a STOCK Act timing violation (for research purposes) as any disclosed stock trade where the filing arrived more than 45 days after the transaction date. That is the same filter powering our late congress stock disclosures page—sorted by longest delay.
At a glance:
- 3,002 late stock trade disclosures in the full dataset.
- 500 shown in the public leaderboard (worst delays first).
- Worst single gap in the current list: 953 days (Markwayne Mullin, SHOP buy dated 2023-01-03, filed 2025-08-13).
Members with the most entries in that top-500 late list:
| Politician | Late trades (top 500) | Longest delay |
|---|---|---|
| Valerie Hoyle | 130 | 408 days |
| Julia Letlow | 110 | 447 days |
| Ritchie John Torres | 63 | 547 days |
| Markwayne Mullin | 59 | 953 days |
| Donald J Trump | 25 | 493 days |
What the STOCK Act requires
Since 2012, the STOCK Act has required members of Congress (and certain executive-branch officials) to publicly report stock transactions within 45 days. The goal is to stop undisclosed trading on non-public information and give voters timely visibility into financial conflicts.
Our list is a transparency index, not a court docket:
- We do not label anyone guilty of a crime.
- Civil penalties and enforcement vary; some late filings are clerical, others draw formal scrutiny.
- Dollar amounts in filings remain preset ranges, not exact trade sizes.
How this differs from “unusual” or “largest” trades
Late disclosure is about when the public learned of a trade—not how big or how odd it was:
- Unusual congress stock trades → size vs a politician's norm.
- Largest congress stock trades → biggest estimated purchases.
- STOCK Act late list → missed 45-day reporting deadline.
A trade can be small, on time, and still matter—or large, filed years late, and only visible after the move.
