The sponsor's argument

Why Nathalia Fernandez says this is needed

Members of the legislature, state-wide elected officials, candidates for office, and state employees who are designated policy makers or receive a high salary are required to fill out an annual financial disclosure form. The form includes questions about whether the individual is a licensed professional and their business relationships. Question 8b, which relates to professional business relationships, is no longer applicable because it applies only to clients for whom services were provided between 2012-2015. JCOPE instructs all filers to respond "N/A." This bill would remove question 8-b to reduce confusion for filers.

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.
