The venue for winning delays in increases in premiums for flood insurance properties is now moving to the must-do farm bill, which is being considered by the Senate this week.
Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., late June 4 proposed an amendment to the 2012 flood bill that would delay implementation of National Flood Insurance Program rate increases for three years.
It would also require the Federal Emergency Management Agency to provide to Congress a detailed study of how the rate increases would impact the affordability of living in flood zones before any rate increases were applied.
