The U.S. Senate has voted 72-22 to approve the Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act (H.R. 3370). As passed, the bill repeals FEMA’s authority to increase premium rates at time of sale or new flood map, and refunds the excessive premium to those who bought a property before FEMA warned them of the rate increase. The bill limits premium increases to 18% annually on newer properties and 25% for some older ones. Additionally, the bill adds a small assessment on policies until everyone is paying full cost for flood insurance. President Obama is expected to sign the bill into law when it arrives at the White House. Thank you all for responding to the many Calls-for-Action on this issue!
