Identity Theft Red Flags - In conjunction with
five other agencies, the Federal Trade Commission is seeking comment on
a proposal that would implement the Fair and Accurate Credit
Transactions Act of 2003. As required by the Act, the agencies are
jointly proposing guidelines for financial institutions and creditors,
which identify specific forms of activity that indicate the possible
existence of identity theft. The proposal would require financial
institutions and creditors to establish reasonable policies and
procedures for implementing the guidelines.

Legislative Committee Mission
The mission of the Altavista Chamber Legislative Committee
is to keep members up to date on the latest issues affecting businesses.
Legislative changes at the federal, state and local levels
of government can all have an impact on the way our members conduct their
daily business. It is therefore important to be informed about
proposed legislation, changes in tax laws and court cases that are related
to business.
If any members are aware of issues or information which
may be relevant to our business community, please contact a member of the
Legislative Committee so that we may add that information to this page and
inform the other chamber members.
Thank you,
Legislative Committee
