GovInfo lists H.R. 9511 as introduced in the House on June 29, 2026. The action states that Mr. Fields, for himself, Mr. Carter of Louisiana, Mr. Bresnahan, and Mr. Ezell, introduced the bill and it was referred to the Committee on Financial Services. The full title is to require the FEMA Administrator to develop a flood insurance information tool.

The introduced bill would require NFIP declaration pages, within 12 months after enactment, to include current premiums, discounts, mitigation savings, claim history, and rating factors. It would also require FEMA, within 36 months after enactment, to develop an online flood insurance information tool with premium, flood history, risk-factor, replacement-cost, flood-hazard, and mitigation-adjustment information.
Assessments
Carter materially advanced a bill matching the promise as an original cosponsor of H.R. 9511, the NFIP Premium Transparency Act, in the 119th Congress. But the bill was only introduced and referred to House Financial Services on June 29, 2026, with no evidence of enactment or FEMA implementation by August 15, 2026. Because the promised requirements and online tool have not been delivered, this is a failed delivery with a serious same-term legislative effort.
