The Stop Funding Rioters Act would prohibit individuals convicted of certain felonies from receiving assistance through Small Business Administration (SBA) programs. Specifically, it bars people convicted of assaulting law enforcement officers or committing felonies related to rioting that damaged small businesses from accessing SBA loans, grants, and other support services. The bill would apply to anyone with these convictions going forward, effectively creating a permanent disqualification for such individuals. The legislation was introduced in June 2025 and referred to the House Committee on Small Business but includes no specific funding allocations or implementation timelines. In practice, this would affect small business applicants with relevant criminal convictions when they apply for SBA resources.
