The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has again delayed the enforcement of the "Red Flags" Rule to June 1, 2010, at the request of members of Congress.   A bill is currently pending in the Senate to exclude health care, accounting, and legal practices with less than 20 employees from the definition of "creditor."  This is the fourth extension of the original compliance deadline of November 1, 2008.

If you have any questions about the Red Flags Rule, need assistance determining whether your business is covered by these regulations, need assistance drafting an appropriate Identity Theft Prevention Program, or require training of your employees on the program, please contact the Nukk-Freeman & Cerra , P.C. attorney with whom you normally work.
