NJ SCR21

Urges Congress to investigate whether insurance companies participating in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) used revised engineering reports to improperly deny flood damage claims from Superstorm Sandy victims

References the federal court case Raimey v. Wright National Flood Insurance Co. where a magistrate judge found an engineer secretly rewrote a report to change flood damage findings, resulting in claim denial

Notes the court found evidence that a "peer review" process was used to alter engineering reports that would have substantiated flood damage claims, and this may be a widespread practice

Calls for congressional hearings to determine the extent of this practice in New Jersey and other states affected by Superstorm Sandy, which struck October 28-30, 2012

Requires copies of the resolution to be sent to presiding officers of both houses of Congress and all New Jersey members of Congress
