Washington

The U.S. Senate passed legislation last week extending the controversial National Flood Insurance Program until Oct. 31 while talks continue on a more permanent reauthorization–a year-long debate complicated by a scathing report from the Government Accountability Office.

The interim extension was approved on a 62-38 vote. It was included in a continuing resolution funding the program, mostly at current levels, for another month while work continues on a myriad of appropriations bills. The House of Representatives included the one-month extension in its own continuing resolution on Sept. 25.
