The bill establishes regulations for individuals who advise or assist others in filing claims for veterans' benefits in Alabama. It mandates that no person may act as an agent or attorney in this capacity without prior accreditation from the United States Department of Veterans Affairs. Additionally, individuals seeking compensation for such services must provide a written agreement detailing payment terms and a disclosure statement indicating that their services are not affiliated with the Department of Veterans Affairs or other veterans service organizations, which may offer similar services for free. The written disclosure must be clear and in a prominent font, and the individual must acknowledge understanding of the terms.

Furthermore, the bill prohibits individuals from guaranteeing specific outcomes regarding veterans' benefits and restricts the collection of excessive fees. It also includes provisions against advertising these services without the required disclosures and prohibits compensation for referrals to other service providers. Violations of this act are classified as deceptive trade practices under Alabama law. The provisions of the act will not apply to attorneys accredited by the federal government, and the act is set to take effect on October 1, 2025.
