The sponsor's argument
Why Pamela Helming says this is needed
The purpose of the benevolent is to assist the fire department in retaining and caring for our current and longtime past responders. Unfortunately, the law as originally written, which has modeled similar laws at the time, restricts the use of the funds only to indigent or sick persons. That limit prohibits the benevolent from assisting its members and from offering benefits to assist in retention of the fire department members. This change, which is modeled after numerous recent laws, will greatly expand the benevolent's ability to retain members, assist members in times of need, and to help keep our volunteers active, healthy and happy. This expansion is obtained by removing the above restriction, and by expanding the purposes of the association to model those of other recent legislative enactments.
This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
