The sponsor's argument

Why Robert Jackson says this is needed

Recent reports have indicated that the instance of death or disability due to leptospirosis is unusually high among sanitation workers, who are continually exposed to automotive exhaust and other hazardous substances and conditions.

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.
