What this amendment would do

SA 6605, submitted by Mr. McCormick, is an amendment to bill S. 4784. Its purpose is to require the Secretary of Defense to consult with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission about a proposed rule called "Prediction Markets; Public Interest Determinations" or any final rulemaking that follows it.

The amendment aims to add a section that requires this consultation to focus on the following:

  • The factors used to define assassination, terrorism, and war.

  • The factors used to decide if event contracts involve assassination, terrorism, or war.

  • The factors that cause concerns regarding public interest.

Additionally, the amendment requires the Secretary of Defense to coordinate with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to submit a report on this consultation to the House and Senate Committees on Armed Services, the House Committee on Agriculture, and the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry.
