The proposed bill, known as the Safeguarding American Veteran Empowerment (SAVE) Act, aims to regulate compensation for individuals assisting veterans with benefits matters. It defines "compensation" and "veterans benefits matter," and prohibits individuals from receiving compensation for referring veterans to others for assistance or for services related to claims filed within one year of active-duty release unless a waiver is signed by the veteran. Additionally, any compensation for advising or consulting must be contingent upon an increase in awarded benefits and cannot exceed five times the monthly increase. The bill also mandates that no initial or nonrefundable fees can be charged for such services.

Furthermore, the bill requires that individuals providing assistance disclose that their services are not affiliated with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs or the Kansas Office of Veterans Services, and that free services may be available elsewhere. It establishes guidelines for businesses offering these services, including restrictions on using international call centers and mandates for criminal background checks for personnel accessing veterans' sensitive information. Violations of these provisions are classified as deceptive practices, subject to civil penalties, and the bill clarifies that it does not affect the requirements for accredited agents or attorneys.
