BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Trump signs funding bill containing NFIP extension

President Donald Trump late Monday signed a continuing resolution to reopen and fund the federal government through Feb. 8 that includes a short-term extension for the National Flood Insurance Program.

The bill was signed by the president after the U.S. House of Representatives approved it Monday evening on a 266-150 vote, which itself followed Senate passage earlier in the day on an 81-18 vote.

The NFIP officially lapsed over the weekend after the failure to reach a deal in Congress to prevent the federal government from shutting down.
