U.S. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-Louisiana) will be the keynote speaker at the Legislative Conference, which will take place April 30-May 2 in Washington, D.C.

Last week, the U.S. Senate passed a continuing resolution to fund the federal government through Sept. 30 and included a short-term reauthorization of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).

As of press time, Congress has yet to pass government funding legislation to keep the federal government open beyond Friday, Dec. 20. The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) is currently scheduled to expire on the same date.

This week, the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate passed H.R. 9747, the Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, which will fund the federal government and extend the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) through Dec. 20. 

Congress passed legislation to fund the federal government and extend the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) through Dec. 20.

A short-term reauthorization of the National Flood Insurance Program through March 8 was included in the short-term continuing resolution passed by Congress last week.

A short-term reauthorization of the National Flood Insurance Program through to Feb. 2, 2024, was included. The legislation also included an extension of the current Farm Bill through to Sept. 30, 2024.

Joe Rossi, CEO and president of Joe Flood Insurance Brokerage, was appointed chair of the Flood Insurance Producers National Committee, where he will represent the Big “I” and other producer groups.

While the short-term reauthorization of the NFIP is certainly helpful, the Big “I” continues to advocate for a long-term reauthorization of the program.

FEMA released a memo to Write-Your-Own companies and NFIP Direct servicing agents providing guidance on a potential lapse in NFIP authority.
