Flood Insurance: Greater Private Market Involvement for Financial Security.

This act aims to reduce financial risk for taxpayers in the event of floods. It requires the flood insurance program to transfer a portion of its risk to private insurance companies and capital markets. This means that in the event of major floods, costs will not be entirely covered by public funds, which can stabilize the program and protect the national budget.
Key points
The flood insurance program will be required to transfer a portion of its financial risk to private reinsurance or capital markets.
The goal is to ensure the program can pay claims while limiting taxpayer exposure to flood losses.
The Administrator will set an annual probable maximum loss target, considering various factors like other insurance programs and available funds.
