The bill would require NFIP declaration pages to include current premium, discounts, mitigation options and savings, claim history, and property rating factors; it also requires an online information tool.
Assessments
Fields materially advanced the promise in the same federal House term by introducing H.R. 9511, the NFIP Premium Transparency Act, which would require FEMA/NFIP premium disclosures and cost-lowering information. However, the bill has only been introduced and referred to the House Committee on Financial Services, with no enactment or implemented FEMA requirement shown as of September 1, 2026. This is a serious legislative attempt, but the promised requirement has not been delivered.
