The resolution aims to prohibit individuals from receiving compensation for assisting veterans with their benefits matters, unless such compensation is allowed under federal law. It establishes that no one in the state may charge for preparing, presenting, or advising on veterans' benefits, nor can they guarantee specific outcomes or receive excessive fees for these services. The resolution references the criteria set forth in the 38 Code of Federal Regulations, Section 14.636 (2024), to determine what constitutes excessive or unreasonable fees.

Additionally, the resolution mandates that any individual seeking compensation for these services must enter into a written agreement with the veteran, outlining the terms of payment in compliance with federal regulations. The Legislature of West Virginia emphasizes that it is unacceptable to profit from assisting veterans with their benefits applications, and it seeks to protect veterans from being exploited through payment requirements for such assistance.
