The New Jersey State Bar Association supports S-3292 (Gopal)/A-3286 (Danielsen), which prohibits persons from receiving compensation for advising or assisting with veterans benefits.
The Association supports this proposed legislation because it makes it a violation of the consumer fraud act to receive compensation for assisting or advising with any veterans benefits matter, except as is permitted under federal law. This proposed legislation will ultimately help protect veterans from being taken advantage of by individuals that attempt to profit by falsely advertising or deceiving veterans seeking assistance.
