Creates provisions relating to compensation for assisting with veterans benefits matters

HB 399 regulates paid assistance with veterans' benefits claims in Missouri. It prohibits anyone from receiving compensation for advising or helping veterans with benefits matters (like VA claims or Missouri Veterans Commission applications) unless they follow strict rules. Key requirements include: requiring a written fee agreement before services begin, banning guarantees of specific benefits, mandating clear disclosures that free help is available through the Missouri Veterans Commission, and prohibiting access to sensitive personal information. Violations are punishable as class A misdemeanors. The bill directly affects paid advocates, companies, or individuals offering such services to veterans.
