WASHINGTON–The House will likely consider legislation on Thursday that would add wind coverage to the National Flood Insurance Program, a plan opposed by the insurance industry.
The bill, H.R. 1264–"the Multiple Peril Insurance Act"–is sponsored by Rep. Gene Taylor, D-Miss.
In discussions leading up to the House's passage of a five-year NFIP extension last week, Rep. Taylor sought to attach an amendment adding wind coverage to the NFIP. But the House Rules Committee ruled it "non-germane" to the main bill, H.R. 5114, the "Flood Insurance Reform and Priorities Act of 2010."
