Both the House (H.5576) and Senate (S.3228) versions of the 2026 economic development bill includes language requiring residential property owners, brokers and landlords to provide disclosures regarding flood risk, flood history and the availability of flood insurance.

EEA and HLC (not owners, brokers or landlords) are subject matter experts on the impact of flood risk on residential real estate.
