Assisting Small Businesses Not Fraudsters Act
This bill prohibits individuals convicted of certain financial crimes from receiving assistance from the Small Business Administration (SBA).

The prohibition includes SBA assistance to small businesses that have an owner, officer, director, or key employee who has been convicted of such a crime.
