AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill changes the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 to address insurance companies that take part in FEMA's Write Your Own Program, which lets private insurers sell and handle federal flood insurance policies. It would bar the FEMA Administrator from requiring these companies, or insurance agents, brokers, and claims adjusters working with the program, to agree not to sell private flood insurance. After the bill becomes law, FEMA could not include such a restriction in any new Write Your Own agreement with an insurer.
