Summary
This bill would extend the authorization and financing of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) from September 30, 2023 to September 30, 2025. The bill amends the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 to postpone the expiration dates for both the program's financing and overall program authority by two years. If enacted after March 14, 2025, the amendments would take effect retroactively as of March 14, 2025, ensuring continuity of the program during any legislative gap.
