I’ve always believed legislators should not be allowed to own individual stocks while in office. Move all to a general mutual fund & leave it there until you’re out of office.

What about the guy that started a company, then kept stock in it? Or partially owns some company but not publicly traded and therefore isn't technically stocks? Employee-stock owned plans? What if he likes a company but it's going to be impossible to rebuy those specific stocks in two/four/six years? What about the guy that likes investing and owns tens or hundreds of individual stocks on his own? Really, they simply shouldn't be voting on anything that's steering money directly to their companies, at all, much less as a conflict-of-interest issue.

I don’t disagree with that, I am discussing the METHOD. Do you really think another law will fix it?

That is the whole problem. laws are enslavement. another and another. But “conservatives” say our laws are better. They are all bypassed and enslave honest people.

So what is a better solution?
