CONGRESS: Memorializes Congress to act to lower the insurance rates based on fifty percent completion of the Comite Diversion Canal Project.
This bill asks Congress to take action on lowering insurance rates for Louisiana homeowners who have faced flood risks. It is based on the idea that 50% of the Comite Diversion Canal Project has been completed since 2016, which should help reduce those risks. The measure does not change law directly but serves as a formal request to the federal government to address insurance costs. It is intended to support residents in areas where flood protection infrastructure is partially in place.
