Banks in Real Estate Call-for-Action Sent
A Call for Action directed to NAR Federal Political Coordinators
(FPCs) was sent on February 27th to help spur additional cosponsors to
NAR-backed Community Choice in Real Estate Act, which would permanently
prohibit national banking conglomerates from owning real estate
brokerage and management operations. Although the number of
cosponsors on both the House and Senate bills (H.R. 111 and S. 413,
respectively) is growing, more cosponsors are needed. To view

NAR Testifies at Hurricane Katrina Field Hearing
The federal government must come forward with a natural disaster
insurance program, Mark Rodi, president-elect of the Louisiana
Association of REALTORS®, testified at a U.S. House Financial Services
Housing Subcommittee field hearing in late February. Rodi also talked
about the need for automatic program waivers of assisted housing
programs during a natural disaster and incentives to boost affordable
housing construction in the Gulf region. For more information, contact
Megan Booth at mbooth@realtors.org
or 202-383-1222.
Terrorism Insurance in the Congressional Spotlight
The U.S. Senate Banking Committee and the House Financial
Services Committee have ambitious agendas planned for looking at renewal
of the Terrorism Risk Insurance Extension Act, which expires at the end
of the year. Both the chairs of the Senate Banking Committee, Chris Dodd
(D-Conn.), and the House Financial Services Committee, Barney Frank
(D-Mass.), have indicated that extending the terrorism insurance program
is a priority. Uncertainty on the future of the terrorism insurance
program could prompt insurance premiums to fluctuate significantly, and
might prompt insurers to add language to policy renewals that would drop
terrorism coverage should the law expire. For more information, contact
Tom Heinemann at
theineman@realtors.org or 202-383-1090.
Insurance Issues Facing Commercial Real Estate
Commercial Real Estate Insurance:
Meeting the Challenge 2007 may become a historic year for commercial
real estate professionals. Two key issues will come before Congress in
the months ahead, terrorism insurance and natural disaster insurance.
These are issues that could significantly impact profit margins on many
commercial real estate deals.
