The proposed bill aims to enhance the protection of veterans and their benefits by prohibiting certain conduct related to the collection of fees for veterans benefits matters. It defines "veterans benefits matter" as any claim or service related to benefits administered by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Defense, or the Kansas Office of Veterans Services. The bill explicitly states that, except as allowed by federal law, no individual may receive compensation for assisting others with veterans benefits claims, including referrals to other individuals for such assistance.

Additionally, the bill establishes that violations of these provisions will be considered violations of the Kansas Consumer Protection Act, and individuals who receive compensation for assisting with veterans benefits matters will be held to the same ethical standards as attorneys under Kansas law. This includes adherence to rules regarding advertising, client solicitation, confidentiality, and the duty to act in the best interest of clients. The bill also includes a severability clause, ensuring that if any part of the act is deemed invalid, the remaining provisions will still be enforceable.
