In a perfect democracy, at least 50% of people would support every decision.

The U.S. falls short of this goal.

Flood Insurance Market Parity and Modernization Act

Sponsor: Dennis Ross (R-FL)

(This measure has not been amended since it was reported to the House on June 25, 2015. The summary of that version is repeated here.) Flood Insurance Market Parity and Modernization Act (Sec. 2) This bill amends the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 to make technical amendments without substantive change to requirements for flood insurance under either the federal program or private flood insurance. (Under current law, any building, mobile home or personal property that would be financed by a federally-backed mortgage must have flood insurance if the property is located in an area designated as a special flood hazard.) As under current law, the amount of mandatory flood insurance shall be, for either federal or private flood insurance, equal to the development or project cost of the building, mobile home, or personal property (less estimated land cost), the outstanding principal balance of the loan, or the maximum limit of federal flood insurance coverage available for the particular type of property, whichever is less.
