Passed in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, TRIA was designed to create a backstop for insurance claims to be shared by the federal government when due to acts of terrorism.  \u201cTRIA promotes a stable and affordable terrorism risk insurance market and contributes to economic certainty,\u201d said Congressman Guthrie.\u00a0 \u201cIt is important we continue this program so that businesses will be better positioned when making plans for the future. Because TRIA was designed as a temporary program, it is also important that any renewal of the program be accompanied by appropriate reforms.\u201d  The law has been extended twice, and the most recent version would have expired at the end of this year.\u00a0 The six-year extension also reduces the federal government\u2019s share of the losses by one percent annually until it reaches 80 percent, and increases the mandatory amount that insurers must pay back to the federal government to $37.5 billion, an increase of $10 billion.  \u201cI support this long-term extension of TRIA because it is in our nation\u2019s best interest and makes the necessary reforms to ensure that taxpayers are protected.\u00a0 I encourage the Senate to quickly follow suit,\u201d added Congressman Guthrie.  ###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["http://guthrie.house.gov/index.cfm?sectionid=24&itemid=1465"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 4.491603933274746, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
