Arcuri Speaks in Support of the Flood Insurance Reform Priorities Act on the House Floor
7-15-10: Congressman Arcuri spoke in support of the Flood Insurance Reform Priorities Act (H.R. 5114), which passed in the House this afternoon. As thousands of families and businesses across Upstate New York face a new requirement to purchase flood insurance as they are remapped by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) into new flood zone boundaries , this legislation would allow property owners the option to delay the purchase of flood insurance up to five years, and once a policy has been initiated, phase in premium rates over a five year period.
