Testimony to be given on Capitol Hill, Salem, ORSeptember 23, 2024Attention! Attention! This month on Monday the 23rd, our VFW Legislative Representatives PDC Dennis Guthrie, State Legislative Chairman, and Anthony Barber, National Legislative Committee Chairman, will be providing testimony at our Capitol. This is an informal hearing of the Oregon Senate Interim Committee on Veterans, Emergency Management, and Federal and World Affairs. The VFW Dept of Oregon will be presenting a potential State Bill to parallel H.R. 1139 GUARD Act. Recall that the GUARD Act is only introduced (March 2023) at the federal level and is to fine/penalize entities (i.e. Claims Sharks) soliciting and profiting from the filing of any VA Benefit claims. This activity has elevated significantly since the passing of the PACT Act.
Eight States have passed similar laws with more States considering. I encourage you to attend in uniform, with cap, to support them. You will not be able to speak but will serve as support and witness. Estimated time is at 3:15P on the First floor in Room E. Plan your time range to be 2:30-5:00P with additional prior for parking, security and finding the room. Please spread the word and attend.
