NAR Weighs-In on NFIP Bills

On Thursday, June 15, the House Financial Services Committee began marking up seven bills reauthorizing the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). These bills would reauthorize the NFIP for five years, as well as make changes to the program and how it's administered, some which will affect the way that commercial properties purchase and utilize the program. NAR sent a letter to the Committee ahead of the markup, which was joined by several commercial real estate trade groups, providing a list of priorities for commercial real estate to consider including in the NFIP reauthorization.

The House Financial Services Committee will continue its markup of the NFIP legislation on Wednesday, June 21.
