House Slates NFIP Hearing; Reauthorization Bill May Be Near

A House hearing has been scheduled for March 9 on the status of the National Flood Insurance Program amid signs that legislation reauthorizing the program that passed the House last year will soon be re-introduced—albeit with some changes sought by the industry.

Rep. Judy Biggert, R-Ill., chairwoman of the Insurance, Housing and Community Opportunity Subcommittee of the House Financial Services Committee, has called the hearing.
