When Congress returned to Washington, D.C. in mid-September, NAR was waiting with its federal political coordinators who came to D.C. to meet with key senators and urge the long-term extension. Additionally, on Sept. 22 NAR was ably represented by Maryland REALTOR\u00ae Nick D\u2019Ambrosia. He stressed to the Senate Committee on Banking NAR\u2019s commitment to extend and strengthening the program beyond 2011 for the long-term. While the one-year extension brings a level of certainty to the NFIP, there needs to be comprehensive reform measures to place the NFIP on more sound financial footing for at least another five years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Flood Insurance Timeline<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sept. 21, 2010 <a href=\"http:\/\/frwebgate.access.gpo.gov\/cgi-bin\/getdoc.cgi?dbname=111_cong_bills&amp;docid=f:s3814enr.txt.pdf\">S. 3814<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/thomas.loc.gov\/cgi-bin\/bdquery\/z?d111:SN03814:@@@R\">Approved by Unanimous Consent in the Senate<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Sept. 23, 2010 <a href=\"http:\/\/thomas.loc.gov\/cgi-bin\/query\/D?c111:3:.\/temp\/%7Ec111DmBhCU::\">S. 3814<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/thomas.loc.gov\/cgi-bin\/bdquery\/z?d111:SN03814:@@@R\">Approved by Voice Vote in House of Representatives<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The bill now heads to President Obama for his signature as soon as next week.
