Bill > HR4053

This bill, known as the Stop Funding Rioters Act, would prohibit individuals convicted of specific criminal offenses from receiving assistance or participating in programs administered by the Small Business Administration (SBA). Specifically, the bill targets two types of criminal convictions: first, those involving misdemeanor or felony assault of a law enforcement officer, and second, felony convictions related to actions during or connected to a riot that resulted in the destruction of a small business. Under this proposed legislation, anyone with such convictions would be permanently ineligible for SBA programs, which typically provide loans, grants, and other support to help small businesses start, grow, and recover from economic challenges. The bill aims to discourage violent behavior by removing potential financial support for individuals who have been convicted of serious offenses involving violence against law enforcement or destruction of small businesses during civil unrest.
