The Senate on Monday approved a cloture motion to proceed with debate on the STOCK Act, sponsored by Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT), which beefs up insider trading laws for members of Congress and their staff.

A Senate vote on the bill is expected later this week.

Leaders of both parties say they support the concept but House GOP leadership thwarted a similar bill in the lower chamber last year.
