Federal Fund Protection: Excluding Fraud Convicts from Government Contracts.

This act aims to safeguard taxpayer money by tightening rules for accessing federal funds. Individuals convicted of serious felonies related to fraud involving government contracts, grants, or loans will be automatically banned from receiving new federal financial assistance for three years. This change is designed to increase integrity in public spending and reduce waste.
Key points
Automatic 3-year exclusion from federal financial programs (contracts, grants, loans) for individuals convicted of covered fraud felonies.
The exclusion list (SAM Exclusions list) will be updated promptly by the Administrator of General Services upon notification from the Attorney General.
Agency heads retain the limited power to waive the exclusion in specific cases, requiring written justification and immediate notification to Congress.
