On July 15, Congresswoman Matsui managed the rule on H.R. 5114, the Flood Insurance Reform Priorities Act of 2010, and urged support for both the rule and the underlying legislation. Passed by the House later that day, H.R. 5114 includes two provisions sought by Congresswoman Matsui that are critically important to flood zone designations and the cost of flood insurance in the Sacramento region. Representative Matsui has fought for several years on behalf of Sacramento homeowners, to implement these changes -- together with the completion of the 200-year levee work going on in the Natomas Basin -- would bring down insurance rates and improve public safety. Rep. Matsui continues to make flood control her top priority.
