Rubio, Kennedy Introduce NFIP Extension Act

Press Release

Florida is home to 1.7 million National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) policies, more than any other state. Without action, the program will expire on September 30, 2022.

"The National Flood Insurance Program is a lifeline for many Floridians. We need to pass this legislation quickly so that no one experiences a lapse in coverage." -- U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL)
"Louisiana's families rely on their flood policies to help them when bad weather wrecks their homes and businesses. Between storms and flooding, I can't express enough how important extending the NFIP is for my state, especially now that we're in the middle of hurricane season." -- U.S. Senator John Kennedy (R-LA)

The NFIP Extension Act would extend NFIP authorization for one year, until September 30, 2023.

Looking forward … Rubio will continue his longstanding efforts to support NFIP, and push for much-needed reforms to ensure flood insurance remains affordable and accessible to Florida families.
