U.S. House Committee on Financial Services Chairman French Hill issued a statement following the U.S. House of Representatives’ passage of a short-term continuing resolution that includes extensions of the Defense Production Act (DPA) and the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Hill highlighted the extensions as maintaining access to flood insurance for at-risk property owners and enabling the federal government to accelerate production of necessary supplies in a crisis, and said he will work on extending the DPA and examining ways to improve and strengthen the NFIP.
