"The Senate on Tuesday passed a short-term extension of the federal flood insurance program, sending it to President Trump for his signature hours before an Aug. 1 deadline.
The 86-to-12 vote preserves access to flood insurance for U.S. homeowners, but it again punts on reforms to a program that now covers more than 5 million households and collects more than $3 billion in premiums yearly.
The bill extends the authorization for the program and its ability to borrow funds through Nov. 30."
