Allows building owners to sue companies for improper flood hazard determinations.
This bill allows a civil action by building owners against companies or contractors who improperly complete flood hazard determination forms for banks or insurance companies. If the form is completed by a certified professional and incorrectly designates a building's flood hazard area, the owner can seek damages, attorney's fees, and court costs. The presumption of correct determination can be rebutted by evidence.
