Bill 119 HR 825, also known as the "Preventing Fraudulent Use of Small Business Administration Assistance Act," aims to prevent individuals who have been convicted of defrauding the government from receiving any assistance from the Small Business Administration (SBA). The bill seeks to ensure that taxpayer-funded resources are not being misused by individuals who have previously engaged in fraudulent activities.
If passed, this legislation would prohibit individuals who have been convicted of defrauding the government from receiving any form of assistance from the SBA, including loans, grants, and other financial support. This measure is intended to protect the integrity of the SBA's programs and ensure that funds are being used appropriately to support legitimate small businesses.
In addition to preventing convicted fraudsters from accessing SBA assistance, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to combating fraud and ensuring accountability within the SBA. This may include increased oversight measures, reporting requirements, or other mechanisms to prevent fraud and abuse of government resources.
Overall, Bill 119 HR 825 is a targeted effort to safeguard taxpayer dollars and uphold the integrity of the SBA's programs by preventing individuals with a history of defrauding the government from receiving assistance. If enacted, this legislation would serve as a deterrent to fraudulent behavior and help ensure that SBA resources are being used effectively to support small businesses in need.
