AI Summary

  • Calls on Congress to terminate the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), which requires homeowners in mapped floodplains to purchase flood insurance as a mortgage condition.

  • Argues that residents in lower flood-risk states like Michigan receive few benefits from the NFIP while their premiums subsidize rebuilding in high-risk flood regions.

  • Addresses financial burden on homeowners who face unexpected flood insurance costs when floodplain maps are updated to include previously non-mapped areas.

  • References H.R. 1194, which would eliminate the NFIP and allow states with similar flood risks to create their own flood insurance programs.

  • Directs copies of the resolution be sent to the President of the U.S. Senate, Speaker of the House, and Michigan's congressional delegation.
