The rule from the Federal Trade Commission requires businesses that act as "creditors" to take specific steps to minimize identity theft. The newly approved legislation clarified creditors who must comply, in effect, exempting providers and others who do not loan money but permit payment to be deferred.
Text of the law, which was S. 3987, is available at congress.gov.
