Submitted by United States Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana
WASHINGTON (December 20, 2024) – Senator John Kennedy (R-La.), a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, today requested unanimous support to pass his bill to extend the National Flood Insurance Program to September 30, 2025. Senators blocked his effort.
“The National Flood Insurance Program, as I think most people know, isn’t perfect, but it’s important. . . . If you traveled to Grand Isle or Port Fourchon in my state, you would see that these are middle-class Americans that depend on the National Flood Insurance Program,” said Kennedy.
Of the more than 4 million Americans nationwide who rely on the NFIP to protect their businesses and homes, more than 400,000 are Louisianians.
