Congressman Hinchey Speaks on the House Floor In Support of The Flood Insurance Fairness Act

Congressman Maurice Hinchey spoke on the House floor regarding the flood map modernization initiative done by FEMA. Hinchey successfully worked to attach several provisions to a bill that extends the national flood insurance program in order to allow property owners who will face a new requirement to purchase flood insurance to delay the need to purchase flood insurance for five years, or pay a reduced fee for five years if they prefer to have the insurance. Hinchey also worked to ensure that property owners who successfully challenge a FEMA flood risk assessment are provided with financial reimbursement for costs incurred during the appeal process.
