Prohibiting certain conduct and improper collection of veterans benefits fees and requiring mandatory counseling concerning the benefit claims process.

Summary

The bill would make it illegal for anyone to charge fees for preparing, presenting, or advising on veterans benefits claims before federal or state agencies, and it would require the Kansas Office of Veterans Services to give mandatory counseling to potential claimants. It also treats contracts that contain prohibited provisions as evidence of an unconscionable act under Kansas consumer‑protection law. The measure targets for‑profit claims services and aims to protect veterans from exploitation.
