The sponsor's argument

Why Rachel May says this is needed

Tens of thousands of evictions occur every year in our state; but there is no easy, centralized way to access those records, and information is often scant at the municipal level. Understanding trends in eviction rates, like where, why, and when evictions are happening. may help us prevent some evictions by shedding useful light on this important issue and, ultimately, keep more people in their homes and businesses.

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.
