The bill establishes regulations for individuals or businesses that provide assistance in filing claims for veterans' benefits in Alabama. It mandates that anyone offering such services must first be accredited by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs. Additionally, those seeking compensation for their services must create a written agreement detailing payment terms and provide a clear disclosure statement, both orally and in writing, indicating that their services are not affiliated with the Department of Veterans Affairs and that free alternatives may be available. The written disclosure must be in a prominent font and retained for at least one year after the service relationship ends.

Furthermore, the bill prohibits individuals from guaranteeing specific outcomes regarding veterans' benefits and restricts the collection of excessive fees. It also requires that any advertisements for these services include the same disclosure about non-affiliation and the availability of free services. Violations of these provisions will be classified as deceptive trade practices under Alabama law. The act will take effect on October 1, 2025, and does not apply to attorneys accredited by the federal government under specific regulations.
