H.R. 5574: To extend the National Flood Insurance Program through November 21, 2025.

This bill proposes an extension of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) until November 21, 2025. The NFIP was created to provide flood insurance to property owners, renters, and businesses in flood-prone areas, helping them to recover financially from flood damage.

Key Provisions

• Extension of Financing: The bill extends the financing provisions of the NFIP, allowing the program to remain active past its previous expiration date of September 30, 2023. By changing the date to November 21, 2025, it ensures that properties in at-risk areas can continue to access federal flood insurance.
• Program Continuation: The bill also revises the program's expiration date, which means that all the operations and functions within the NFIP can proceed without interruption until the new expiry date in 2025.

Impact on Stakeholders

By extending the NFIP, property owners in flood-prone areas can maintain access to flood insurance. This is critical as many private insurers may not offer flood coverage at affordable rates due to the high risk associated with flood damage. The continuation of the NFIP is aimed at providing financial security to those in vulnerable areas and promoting resilience against flooding.

Relevant Companies

• ALL - Allstate Corporation: As a major provider of property and casualty insurance, Allstate will be influenced by changes in the NFIP regarding flood insurance offerings and competitiveness in the market.
• PNC - PNC Financial Services Group: They provide various insurance products and may see an impact on their flood insurance availability and pricing strategies.
• USLI - United States Liability Insurance Group: Their operations related to flood insurance might be directly affected due to changes in market dynamics shaped by the extension of the NFIP.
