AN ACT relating to the protection of veterans' benefits.

This bill sets new rules for anyone who charges money to help veterans apply for or manage their benefits in Kentucky. It limits what fees can be charged, bans certain practices like aggressive solicitation and accessing personal account information, and requires those providing paid assistance to report annually to the Kentucky Department of Veterans' Affairs. Violations would be treated as consumer protection offenses under state law. Who it may affect: veterans and their families seeking help with benefits claims, as well as attorneys, consultants, and other paid advisors who assist with veterans' benefits matters.
