#6Disclosure GapConfirmed

1 Late STOCK Act Disclosures (up to 395 days)

The STOCK Act requires members of Congress to disclose trades within 45 days. Julie Johnson filed 1 disclosure(s) beyond the 45-day deadline, with the longest delay being 395 days. Late disclosures:
- purchase MMM on 2024-03-15 — disclosed 2025-04-14 (395 days late, $1,001-$15,000) Late disclosure is a violation of the STOCK Act and may result in fines. Systematic late filing may indicate an attempt to obscure trading activity from public scrutiny.
