Mazzocco bill repealing obsolete insurance laws unanimously moves through House

Rep. Jen Mazzocco    June 22, 2026 | 3:43 PM

HARRISBURG, June 22 – Today, legislation introduced by state Rep. Jen Mazzocco (H.B. 2473) to repeal obsolete insurance laws and already completed studies advanced through the state House of Representatives by a unanimous 202-0 vote.

The bill would repeal the Flood Insurance Education and Information Act and would remove language mandating studies and reports that were completed over a decade ago. The legislation would not affect any programs implemented by the Insurance Department and would only clean up outdated provisions.

“In many cases, studies have been completed and the reports have been delivered, yet language from the General Assembly mandates for them to remain in place,” Mazzocco said. “I’m grateful to my co-sponsors and colleagues in the House, as we’re making sure our insurance laws remain relevant. Taxpayers expect government to operate efficiently. Removing obsolete laws and completed mandates helps ensure state agencies can focus on the work that matters most to Pennsylvanians today.”

The Flood Insurance Education and Information Act was established in 1996 and required the Pennsylvania Insurance Commissioner to create a consumer education plan to increase awareness of flood insurance. The Insurance Department has established and enhanced educational efforts since that time, leaving the act obsolete.

House Bill 2473 now moves to the State Senate for consideration.
