AI Summary

  • Amends the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 to require FEMA to share flood insurance policy and claims data with private insurance companies that enter into data sharing agreements
  • Data shared with insurers includes property location (address and coordinates), coverage amounts, dates of loss, and claim payment amounts
  • Insurance companies receiving data may only use it for underwriting, setting premium rates, and adjusting claims—marketing use is prohibited
  • Property purchasers, lessees, and current owners can request their property's flood claims history, including number and dollar value of claims over the property's lifetime
  • FEMA may charge fees to participating insurance companies but cannot charge property owners requesting information; fees collected go into the National Flood Insurance Fund
