The sponsor's argument

Why José M. Serrano says this is needed

Management and master plans are valuable tools that outline specifics regarding the environmental, historic, cultural, scenic, interpretive, and recreational resources of a park or historic site. They also provide a future plan and goals for each of the different aspects of a park or historic site and offer the public an opportunity to comment. Tying long-term leases and agreements to the planning goals outlined in the master or management plans gives structure and a framework for what types of activities should be permitted in a park setting and holds such activities accountable to the established plan.

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.
