WASHINGTON \u2013 Hoy, el Senado de EE. UU. aprob\u00f3 una ley basada en una propuesta del Senador de Oreg\u00f3n Jeff Merkley que retrasar\u00e1 los aumentos en las tasas de seguros contra inundaciones que amenazan los hogares y negocios de Oreg\u00f3n. La legislaci\u00f3n se dirige al escritorio del presidente para ser firmada como ley. <\/p>\n
En septiembre, Merkley celebr\u00f3 una audiencia en su Subcomit\u00e9 de Pol\u00edtica Econ\u00f3mica sobre las subidas de tipos extremas que se propon\u00edan como resultado de la Ley Biggert-Waters de 2012. Luego convoc\u00f3 a un grupo bipartidista de senadores para trabajar en la legislaci\u00f3n que retrasa estos aumentos de tarifas, y en octubre presentaron la Ley de asequibilidad del seguro contra inundaciones para propietarios de viviendas. Ese proyecto de ley fue aprobado por el Senado en enero y la semana pasada, la C\u00e1mara debati\u00f3 y aprob\u00f3 el proyecto de ley. Con la votaci\u00f3n de hoy para aprobar los cambios de la C\u00e1mara a la legislaci\u00f3n, el Senado actu\u00f3 para brindar un alivio inmediato a los propietarios de viviendas que enfrentan primas de seguros contra inundaciones inasequibles. <\/p>\n
\n\u201cAlgo anda muy mal cuando los propietarios de viviendas est\u00e1n m\u00e1s preocupados por las primas de seguros contra inundaciones que por las inundaciones\u201d, dijo Merkley. \u201cLos habitantes de Oreg\u00f3n que trabajan est\u00e1n exprimidos de todas las direcciones, y lo \u00faltimo que necesitaban era otro gasto enorme en sus presupuestos mensuales. Me alegra que el Congreso haya podido dejar de lado el estancamiento partidista y trabajar para encontrar una soluci\u00f3n real que marque una gran diferencia para las familias de clase media\u201d. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
El proyecto de ley brinda a los propietarios un alivio inmediato de los aumentos de tarifas y finaliza una pol\u00edtica que habr\u00eda requerido que muchos nuevos propietarios pagaran miles de d\u00f3lares en primas anuales por inundaciones, independientemente de lo que pagara el propietario anterior. Esa disposici\u00f3n hab\u00eda dificultado que ciertas familias de Oreg\u00f3n vendieran sus casas. <\/p>\n
El grupo bipartidista original de senadores que copatrocinaron la legislaci\u00f3n del seguro contra inundaciones fueron, adem\u00e1s del senador Merkley: Robert Menendez (D-NJ), Johnny Isakson (R-GA), Thad Cochran (R-MS), Mary Landrieu (D-LA) , David Vitter (R-LA), Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Bill Nelson (D-FL), Mark Begich (D-AK), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), John Hoeven (R-ND), Al Franken (D-MN), Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND) y Ed Markey (D-MA).<\/p>\n
