HB2792 proposes amendments to the Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new section related to the Arizona Department of Veterans' Services (ADVS). The bill prohibits individuals from receiving compensation for advising, consulting, or assisting with veterans' benefits matters before the ADVS or the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), as well as for referring individuals to others for such services. It mandates that any person providing advice or assistance on veterans' benefits must be accredited by the VA and must inform individuals about the free services offered by the ADVS and the VA for filing benefits claims before providing any consultation.

Additionally, the bill requires the ADVS to prominently display information about all free services it offers for filing benefits claims on the homepage of its website. The act clarifies that it does not prohibit proper fee division between attorneys as per the rules of professional conduct. The term "veterans' benefits matter" is defined to encompass any benefits, programs, services, or statuses related to veterans, their dependents, survivors, and other eligible individuals as determined by the ADVS or the VA.
