This amendment to House Substitute 1 for House Bill 272 clarifies that the requirements of the Act apply to persons who are not accredited by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs. This amendment also changes the effective date to 18 months following enactment to allow time for nonaccredited persons who are currently providing veterans’ services to seek and obtain accreditation from the United States Department of Veterans Affairs. This amendment makes clear that while this Act does not authorize individuals to engage in any practice in violation of federal law, non-accredited persons who advise or assist veterans in their claims are subject to civil penalties and other remedies in this State if they engage in the trade practices prohibited under this Act.
