Red Flags Rule

In Nov. 2007, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) issued a set of regulations, known as the “Red Flags Rule,” requiring that certain entities develop and implement written identity theft prevention and detection programs to protect consumers from identity theft.

Johnson County Health Department has developed and implemented their policy to address the Red Flags Rule and is willing to share this policy with their peers.
