The sponsor's argument

Why Dan Stec says this is needed

Recently, Warren County joined the Capital District Transportation Authority, and state law requires that a county's mortgage recording tax be dedicated to paying for this service. However, preexisting state law also required Warren County's tax be applied to the support of its community college, SUNY Adirondack. For years, Warren County has supplemented its support of the college from the general fund. This bill would rectify the conflict within state tax law and extend Warren County's mortgage recording tax for an additional two years.

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.
