United States Senate voted to pass a three-month extension of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).  The House of Representatives expected to pass the legislation on Friday, September 8, 2017 and the President is expected to quickly sign the bill into law later in the day.
This legislation ensures that the NFIP will not lapse on September 30, 2017.  NAR will continue our legislative advocacy efforts for the 21st Century Flood Reform Act until this long-term reauthorization and reform bill is enacted.
