VETERANS – Adds to existing law to establish provisions regarding consumer protection of veterans benefits.
Signed by Governor on 03/26/26 Session Law Chapter 145 Effective: 07/01/2026
Summary
The law creates consumer‑protection rules for people who assist veterans with claims for benefits from the VA, the Department of War, or Idaho’s veterans services. It bars anyone who isn’t a VA‑accredited agent or attorney from charging upfront fees, limits any contingency fee to five times the monthly increase in benefits, and requires clear disclosures that the service is not affiliated with government agencies. The measure aims to protect veterans from predatory practices and ensure their personal data is handled securely.
