| Red Flag Rules Delayed |
Due to the vigorous efforts of the ADA to the reverse the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) decision on the Red Flag Rules, the FTC has issued a 90 day delay in the enforcement. The rules would have gone into effect May 1, but now have been delayed to at least August 1. The ADA believes that characterizing dentists as "creditors" in the context of the rules is incorrect. The ADA and the state associations will continue to work hard on this issue to hopefully have dentists removed. Be sure to read future communications as the SCDA will share the final word once it has been received. |
