FTC Again Delays Enforcement of Red Flags Rule
Client Alert | 1 min read | 07.30.09
The Federal Trade Commission has announced it will again extend the date for commencement of enforcement of the Red Flags Rule to prevent identity theft, moving the date back three months until November 1, 2009.
The Commission said that al though many covered entities have developed and implemented appropriate, risk-based programs since the Commission promulgated the final rule, some covered entities, particularly small businesses and entities with a low risk of identity theft, remain uncertain about their compliance obligations. To help these small and low risk entities with compliance, the Commission staff will shortly make available additional resources and guidance at the FTC's Red Flags Rule website.
In the meantime, groups representing physicians, lawyers and others treated as "creditors" under the Red Flags Rule are continuing to seek legislation or court relief against the rule.

SCOTUS Holds IEEPA Tariffs Unlawful
On February 20, 2026, the Supreme Court issued a pivotal ruling in Trump v. V.O.S. Selections, negating the President’s ability to impose tariffs under IEEPA. The case stemmed from President Trump’s invocation of IEEPA to levy tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico, China, and other countries, citing national emergencies. Challengers argued—and the Court agreed—that IEEPA does not delegate tariff authority to the President. The power to tariff is vested in Congress by the Constitution and cannot be delegated to the President absent express authority from Congress.
