What did Rep. Scott Peters' spouse buy and sell?
The report, Filing ID 20035637, is a periodic transaction report, the form House members use to disclose individual trades. It codes all four lines GS, which the House asset type list defines as government securities and agency debt. House filers use SP for a spouse's assets, DC for a dependent child's and JT for jointly held ones, per the House Ethics instruction guide.
The filing's amount column gives value ranges, not exact amounts or prices. It does not state whether the sale and the purchases were connected.
Peters represents California's 50th District and serves on the Committee on Energy and Commerce and the Committee on the Budget, according to his Clerk member page.
When were the trades made and reported?
By the printed dates, Peters was notified of all four trades on Sept. 30. He signed the report on Oct. 15, 15 days after the notification date and 42 days after the earliest trade, dated Sept. 3.
The STOCK Act requires members to report a covered trade within 30 days of being notified of it and no later than 45 days after the trade. By the dates printed in the filing, the report falls within both limits.
