Rule Making Review Committee
During the Interim Committee meetings of the Legislature, the Rule Making Review Committee had a Division of Labor Rule on the agenda for consideration dealing with the Contractor Licensing Board.Federal Identity Theft Prevention Requirements
New federal regulations, known as “red flag rules”, require financial
institutions and creditors to develop and implement written
identity-theft-prevention programs. Because of the definition of
“creditor”, many municipalities may be affected by these regulations.
A municipality that provides a service to customers and collects payment later must comply with the red flag rules. The
red flag rules are part of the federal Fair and Accurate Credit
Transactions (FACT) Act of 2003. Under these regulations, financial
institutions and creditors with covered accounts must have
identity-theft-prevention programs in place by November 1, 2008 to
identify, detect and respond to patterns, practices, or specific
activities that could indicate identity theft.
