Summary
The Flood Insurance Reform and Modernization Act of 2007 (S. 2284) was introduced in the Senate on November 1, 2007, by Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.). The bill sought to restore the financial solvency of the national flood insurance program, to provide coverage for damage from storm winds and waters (or a combination of both) and to update and consolidate flood maps. The Senate eventually incorporated this measure into H.R. 3121, which was sent to conference committee.[1][2]
Senate action
During consideration of the bill, several amendments were considered. One amendment, offered by Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), sought to allow oil exploration in the Artic National Wildlife Refuge. The amendment failed to receive the 60 votes necessary to pass.
