(The Center Square) – After an Illinois congressman reportedly broke the law with late disclosures of stock trades , another member of the state’s delegation is urging colleagues to prohibit stock trading by members of Congress .

OpenSecrets revealed on August 26 that Illinois U.S. Rep. Jonathan Jackson, D-Chicago, was weeks late in disclosing 31 stock trades made by his wife earlier this year.

Illinois U.S. Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, D-Schaumburg, joined a bipartisan group of lawmakers this week to introduce a ban on stock trading by members of Congress.

“We’re not going to judge what you did before now, but now that this bill is going to come to the floor, and we’re going to make sure of that, it’s your chance to get right with the American people,” Krishnamoorthi said.
