The sponsor's argument

Why Jamaal Bailey says this is needed

New York State's SNUG program engages the highest-risk individuals who are causing violence in communities with high rates of violent crime, addresses the issues that may be causing high-risk individuals to engage in gun violence, and shares with the community how violence is spread. SNUG seeks to modify an existing norm of community acceptance of violent behavior by engaging residents, businesses and community-based organiza- tions to implement coordinated strategies to reduce and prevent shoot- ings and killings. SNUG employs Street Outreach Workers who live in the communities in which they serve and are able leverage their community ties in their work. The Division of Criminal and Justice Services currently administers SNUG in 14 communities across New York State: Albany, Bronx, Poughkeepsie, Buffalo, Rochester, Hempstead, Syracuse, Newburgh, Niagara Falls, Troy, Utica, Wyandanch, Yonkers and Mt. Vernon. This bill would codify the existing program to ensure adequate funding is available in the state budget to address gun violence, increase fund- ing for existing sites and provide additional funding to expand SNUG programs to more localities throughout the state.

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.
