## Summary

**Bars federal funds to individuals convicted of certain federal felonies and to entities they substantially own or control for three years.** It also creates a waiver process, requires agencies to update exclusion lists, and directs OMB and the Federal Acquisition Regulation to implement the policy. - Individuals and entities: People convicted of the listed federal felonies cannot receive federal contracts, grants, loans, or other federal financial assistance for 3 years. Entities where a convicted person owns at least 25% or otherwise exerts substantial control are treated the same. - Federal agencies and procurement systems: Agency heads may not enter into, renew, or extend covered federal awards with these individuals or entities but can grant a case-by-case waiver if justified and must notify Congress immediately.

The law defines "beneficial owner" and lists exclusions such as nominees, certain employees, minor children, inherited interests, and most creditors.
