Bill Introduced in the House Would Exclude Some Healthcare Providers from FTC Red Flags Rule
On October 8, 2009, Representative John Adler (D-NJ) introduced House Bill 3763 (PDF), which would exclude certain small businesses, including health care practices with 20 or fewer employees, from the FTC's Red Flags Rule. The bill has been referred to the House Committee on Financial Services. DGS will continue to track and report any noteworthy progress.
In July 2009, the FTC delayed enforcement of the Red Flags Rule for a third time, until November 1, 2009. A prior DGS post provides more information on the requirements of the Red Flags Rule.
