How this connects
The U.S. Congress is reviewing a new bill called the CFTC Proprietary Information Act of 2026. This bill would set rules about how the Commodity Futures Trading Commission handles secret business information. The bill is currently being studied by the House Committee on Agriculture. It aims to clarify what information the agency can keep confidential.
