Urges Congress to investigate claims that insurance companies have used revised engineering reports to deny flood claims from Superstorm Sandy.
New Jersey's SCR 21 is a concurrent resolution urging Congress to investigate whether insurance companies denied flood claims from Superstorm Sandy victims by secretly revising engineering reports. It specifically cites a court case (Raimey v. Wright) where an engineer altered a report to claim storm damage was due to "long-term deterioration," denying coverage. The resolution targets homeowners in flood-prone areas (especially New Jersey) who had claims rejected based on these revised reports. It does not change laws but requests congressional hearings to determine the scope of this practice. (4 sentences)
