§ 53085 Felony Disclosure For Aid

• •If you ask the government for money to help start or grow a business, they might ask you to sign a paper.
• •This paper says you promise you were never in big trouble with the law (like a felony).
• •If you lie on this paper, you can get in serious trouble, just like lying in court.

You want to open a bakery and need a loan from the city to buy ovens and stuff.

The city might ask you to sign a paper saying you were never convicted of a felony. If you sign it and lie, you can get in big trouble.
