Additionally, no person shall advertise for such services without including a disclosure as specified in the act. Furthermore, no person shall receive compensation for any services rendered before the date on which a notice of disagreement is filed with the United States Department of Veterans Affairs and no person shall guarantee the receipt of specific veteran benefits. Any person who violates this act shall be guilty of a class A misdemeanor. This act is identical to SB 1405 (2024) and is similar to a provision in HCS/HB 1490 (2024).
