Reinstates a criminal prohibition on charging fees to veterans (or others) for preparing, presenting, or prosecuting claims for veterans’ benefits unless an exception applies. The change makes it unlawful to solicit, contract for, charge, receive, or attempt any such fee and makes violations punishable by fines as provided by federal criminal law (title 18). The statutory headings and chapter table are updated to reflect the change.
Referred to the Committee on Veterans' Affairs, and in addition to the Committee on the Judiciary, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
