Flood History Information Act of 2026
To provide for the disclosure and sharing of certain policy and claims information under the National Flood Insurance Program, and for other purposes.
This bill, HB7355, aims to make certain information about flood history and insurance claims more accessible. Specifically, it seeks to improve the disclosure and sharing of data under the National Flood Insurance Program. This could help communities better prepare for and respond to flood risks.
The bill would affect anyone who has filed claims or is considering purchasing flood insurance. By providing more detailed information, it could assist individuals and businesses in understanding their flood risk and making informed decisions. The bill could also help policymakers and emergency responders with better data for planning and resource allocation.
HB7355 was introduced on February 4, 2026, and was referred to the House Committee on Financial Services the same day. This means the bill is in its initial stages and is now being reviewed by the committee, which will decide its next steps. The co-sponsors, Madeleine Dean and Andrew Garbarino, represent a bipartisan effort to enhance flood insurance transparency.
