Lobbyists for the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) are optimistic that the House of Representatives will pass a bill reauthorizing the
National Flood Insurance Program set to expire Sept. 30. The House bill meets all of NAR’s objectives, Jamie Gregory, NAR’s deputy chief lobbyist, told attendees on Monday at NAR’s Leadership Summit for local association executives and presidents held in Chicago. He is hopeful that passage in the House will help spur Senate action to improve its version of the bill. The Senate six-year extension bill does not address access to private market insurance and several other reforms supported by NAR. “The most critical thing is to get the House bill moving,” he said. On Tuesday, August 22, NAR will issue a
Call for Action to REALTORS® in support of the critical need for long-term reauthorization of the flood insurance program.
