Bill overview
This bill, AB 826, aims to protect California veterans from deceptive practices related to veterans’ benefits. It expands the Consumers Legal Remedies Act to prohibit businesses from charging fees to assist veterans with filing benefit claims unless they are properly accredited. The bill also prohibits misleading advertising and promotion of services related to veterans’ benefits, requiring clear disclosures about the lack of authorization to file claims on behalf of veterans. Specifically, it mandates that advertisements and promotional materials clearly state that the individual offering assistance is not authorized to file claims on behalf of veterans.
