The bill establishes a prohibition on the listing of certain contracts related to war, death, and similar activities under the Commodity Exchange Act.

  • 7 U.S.C. 7a-2

    (d) Prohibition on Listing of Contracts Relating to War, Death, and Similar Activities.--A registered entity shall not list for trading or accept for clearing on or through the registered entity any of the following: (1) An agreement, contract, transaction, or swap based on an excluded commodity (as defined in section 1a(19)(iv)) that involves, relates to, or references terrorism, assassination, war, or any similar activity, as determined by the Commission. (2) An agreement, contract, transaction, or swap based on an excluded commodity (as defined in section 1a(19)(iv)) that involves, relates to, or references an individual's death or could otherwise be construed as correlating closely to an individual's death.

    This addition creates a new prohibition against trading contracts linked to death and conflict-related activities.
