The SAVE Act aims to regulate compensation for individuals assisting veterans with benefits matters in Kansas. It defines key terms such as "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. Compensation for advising or assisting veterans is contingent upon an increase in awarded benefits, with a cap set at five times the monthly increase. Additionally, no initial or nonrefundable fees can be charged, and individuals must provide a written disclosure about the nature of their services and the availability of free assistance from other organizations.

The bill also establishes requirements for businesses providing such services, including the prohibition of using international call centers for processing veterans' personal information and mandates criminal history checks for individuals accessing sensitive data. Violations of these provisions are classified as unfair or deceptive practices, subject to civil penalties enforced by the attorney general. The act clarifies that it does not alter the requirements for agents or attorneys accredited by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
