All Risk Insurance Group, Inc. Reports Flood Premiums May Triple This Year, Lock In Coverage Now.

Online, March 7, 2014 (Newswire.com) - In a rare moment of bipartisanship, the House recently voted overwhelmingly to roll back flood insurance rate increases that have devastated many homeowners in coastal communities across the United States. The deal, brokered by Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Los Angeles) with a bipartisan coalition of coastal state lawmakers, sailed through the House, 306 to 91.

Florida is one of the coastal states that has been effected the most, Rep. Vern Buchanan (R-Fla.), who told horror stories of his constituents facing massive insurance rate increases on their homes, said, "It is nice, once in a while, where we can come together and get something done." The legislation faces an uncertain future in the Senate, which passed a bipartisan bill this year that was essentially dead on arrival in the House. That measure added $2.1 billion to the deficit over the decade and was rejected by GOP leaders.

Flood insurance rates started skyrocketing last year after new provisions went into effect as part of an earlier overhaul of the National Flood Insurance Program that was signed into law in 2012. That earlier effort sought to push up flood insurance rates to more accurately reflect risk and cover a deficit in the flood insurance program.

But homeowners saw enormous rate increases as their properties were suddenly included in federal flood insurance maps. Others complained they could not sell their homes because buyers could not afford the higher rates. The Senate bill simply delayed the increases for four years while the Federal Emergency Management Agency studied the issue.

The House compromise would roll back some rates and allow more modest rate increases of 5% a year on others, with a cap of 18% a year on primary residences. To avoid raising the deficit, the House bill would impose a $25 fee on each household, $250 on businesses and second homes.
