HR 5427

Sponsored by Roger Williams (R)

To prohibit individuals convicted of defrauding the Government from receiving any assistance from the Small Business Administration, and for other purposes.

Would have barred people convicted of COVID-19 loan fraud from receiving most SBA financial help, and their businesses too.

Tradeoff

Would have blocked convicted COVID-19 loan fraudsters and their businesses from most SBA assistance. Disaster loans would still be available to them.
