The 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 establishes that no individual shall receive compensation for preparing, presenting, or assisting with veterans benefits claims before the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Defense, or the Kansas Office of Veterans Services, except as allowed by federal law. Additionally, it prohibits compensation for referring individuals to others for such services. The bill clarifies that attorneys may still divide fees in accordance with Kansas law and professional conduct rules.

Violations of this act will be treated as violations of the Kansas Consumer Protection Act, and individuals who receive compensation for assisting with veterans benefits claims will be held to the same ethical standards as attorneys. This includes adherence to principles such as advertising, client solicitation, confidentiality, duty of care, honesty, and the obligation to act in the best interest of the client. The bill also includes a severability clause, ensuring that if any part of the act is found invalid, the remaining provisions will still be enforceable. The act will take effect upon its publication in the Kansas register.
