Tonight, the Senate passed the House version of the flood bill, the Homeowner's Flood Insurance Affordability Act, by an overwhelming majority in a 72-22 vote.
"I commend my colleagues in the Senate for stepping up in the name of struggling, middle-class homeowners. The Homeowner's Flood Insurance Affordability Act represents the first meaningful step forward in National Flood Insurance Program reform. Although I believe that further reform and stronger protections are needed, today we have reason to celebrate."
