AZ SB1308

Prohibits persons from receiving compensation for advising, consulting, or assisting individuals with veterans' benefits matters, except under specific conditions outlined in the bill.

Allows compensation only when a written agreement signed by all parties is prepared beforehand, containing service terms, payment amounts, and a required disclosure statement in 12-point font notifying clients that the service is not affiliated with the Arizona Department of Veterans' Services or U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.

Restricts compensation to contingent fees only (no initial or nonrefundable fees), capped at five times the amount of the veteran's actual benefits increase.

Prohibits service providers from guaranteeing specific benefits, using medical professionals with business relationships, using international call centers for personal information processing, gaining direct access to veteran personal information, or providing services to veterans within one year of active duty release without written acknowledgment.

Requires all advertisements for veterans' benefits services to include the required disclosure statement in a readily noticeable location (printed) or stated clearly (verbal), and classifies violations as unfair or deceptive trade practices.
