NEW YORK, December 11, 2014 — Reporters with questions regarding the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program and its extension, can contact the Insurance Information Institute (I.I.I.).

The Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act (TRIPRA) has cost taxpayers virtually nothing, yet the law continues to provide tangible benefits to the U.S. economy in the form of terrorism insurance market stability, affordability and availability.
