The U.S. House of Representatives recently passed legislation to renew and reform the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The NFIP’s authorization is set to expire on Dec. 9. During debate on the House floor, several Republicans expressed concerned that the bill would impose steep NFIP premium increases on their constituents. Many Democrats echoed these concerns, though 15 Democrats did vote to support the legislation. The legislation ultimately passed the House by a vote of 237 to 189.
