WASHINGTON–The House voted last night to extend the current National Flood Insurance Program without changes until next year when work on legislation to reform NFIP will resume.

The measure now goes to the Senate, which can act on the flood program extension measures in two different formats the House has supplied. One is a stand-alone bill approved on Tuesday; the other, passed yesterday, is part of a continuing resolution to finance government activity.

Yet another House bill on the flood program was passed in October, which would provide wind damage coverage as well as flood. The Senate has refused to pass this legislation. NFIP will expire at the end of the month.
