MI HR0203

Urges the Federal Emergency Management Agency to allow communities the option of continuing to use older flood maps instead of newly updated maps.

States that updated FEMA flood maps expand the number of properties designated as being in the floodplain, requiring homeowners to obtain flood insurance they did not previously need.

Contends that requiring flood insurance on newly mapped properties creates unfair financial burdens on homeowners who budgeted and financed their homes without expecting this additional cost.

Directs transmission of the resolution to the FEMA Administrator and members of the Michigan congressional delegation.
