"Senate", "vote_result": "Cloture on the Motion to Proceed Agreed to", "cg_summary": "Title I: Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act\n- Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act of 2014 - (Sec. 103) Prohibits the Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) from implementing during a specified six-month period a requirement of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 (NFIA) that would: (1) increase flood insurance risk premium rates to reflect the current risk of flood for property located in specified areas subject to a certain mandatory premium adjustment, or (2) a prohibition against extending subsidies for property not insured by the flood insurance program as of July 6, 2012 (the date of enactment of the Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012), or any policy that has lapsed because the property was no longer being required to retain coverage (Pre-Flood Insurance Rate Map or pre-FIRM properties).\n(A pre-FIRM property contains a structure neither constructed nor substantially improved after the later of December 31, 1974, or the effective date of the initial flood insurance rate map published by the FEMA Administrator under NFIA for the pertinent area.)\nDeclares that such prohibitions shall expire six months after the later of: (1) the date on which the Administrator proposes a certain draft flood insurance affordability framework; or (2) the date on which the Administrator certifies to Congress that FEMA has implemented a flood mapping approach that, when applied, results in technically credible flood hazard data in all areas where Flood Insurance Rate Maps are prepared or updated.\nAmends NFIA to prohibit the Administrator from providing flood insurance to prospective insureds at rates less than those estimated for any property purchased after the expiration of such six-month period (currently, any property purchased after July 6, 2012).\nProhibits FEMA from reducing the risk premium rate subsidy for flood insurance for property purchased on or before the expiration of the six-month period set forth in this Act based on the fact that: (1) the property was not insured by the flood insurance program as of July 6, 2012; or (2) on or before the expiration of that six-month period the policy for the property had lapsed in coverage as a result of the deliberate choice of the policy holder because the property was no longer required to retain coverage.\nDirects FEMA to: (1) restore during that six-month period specified estimated risk premium rate subsidies for flood insurance for properties denied an extension of subsidy, and (2) submit to certain congressional committees a draft affordability framework addressing the affordability of flood insurance sold under the National Flood Insurance Program.\nPermits FEMA to enter into an agreement with another federal agency either to complete the affordability study or prepare the draft affordability framework.\nDirects FEMA to make publicly available, no later than six months before implementation of specified rate changes in flood insurance risk premiums resulting from both the Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012, and from this Act, the rate tables and underwriting guidelines that provide the basis for such changes.\nDirects FEMA, within 90 days after enactment of this Act, to report to Congress on the feasibility of: (1) releasing property-level policy and claims data for NFIP flood insurance coverage, and (2) establishing guidelines for releasing such data in accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974.\n(Sec. 104) Directs FEMA submit to certain congressional committees: (1) the draft affordability study; and (2) the report on an economic analysis of the costs and benefits to the federal government of a flood insurance program with full risk-based premiums, combined with means-tested federal assistance to aid individuals who cannot afford coverage, through an insurance voucher program.\n(Sec. 105) Amends the Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012 to repeal the ceiling on the funding for the draft affordability study and report, making available such amounts as may be necessary.\n(Sec. 106) Amends the NFIA to: (1) authorize FEMA to reimburse homeowners for successful map appeals resolved by submission of conflicting data to the Scientific Resolution Panel, and (2) repeal the ceiling on the amount of funds FEMA may use to make such reimbursements to a community for successful appeals.\n(Sec. 107) Makes any community that has made adequate progress on the construction (as under current law) or reconstruction (new) of a flood protection system which will afford flood protection for the one-hundred year frequency flood eligible for flood insurance at premium rates not exceeding those which would apply if such flood protection system had been completed.\nRevises guidelines governing availability of flood insurance in communities restoring disaccredited flood protection systems to include riverine and coastal levees.\n(Sec. 108) Requires FEMA to: (1) rate a covered structure using the elevation difference between the floodproofed elevation of the covered structure and its adjusted base flood elevation; and (2) designate a Flood Insurance Advocate to advocate for the fair treatment of policy holders under the National Flood Insurance Program and property owners in the mapping of flood hazards, the identification of risks from flood, and the implementation of measures to minimize the risk of flood.\n(Sec. 110) Amends the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended by the Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012, with respect to the limitation on the requirement that a federal entity for lending regulation require all NFIA payments be made periodically to a regulated lending institution or mortgage loan servicer, which shall deposit them into an escrow account.\nApplies the payment and escrow requirements, and the limitation on them, to any loan originated, refinanced, increased, extended, or renewed on or after January 1, 2016.\nRevises the limitation prohibiting a federal entity for lending regulation, in certain circumstances, from requiring a regulated lending institution to deposit NFIA payments in an escrow account.
