The sponsor's argument

Why Leroy Comrie says this is needed

The Authorities Budget Office appropriation is received from a special revenue account through an assessment on public authorities. The ABO is currently assessed nearly one third of its total appropriation to cover its own fringe benefits and indirect costs. This is preventing the ABO from fulfilling its statutory mission and maximizing its impact. This bill would shift the costs from an ABO appropriation expense to the general fund, which would enable the ABO to use these additional funds for its defined purposes.

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.
