The sponsor's argument

Why William Weber says this is needed

MUNICIPALITIES WITH CLASSES OF TAXABLE PROPERTY (HORNESTEAD/NON- HOMESTEAD) OFTEN FACE DRASTIC FLUCTUATIONS IN SHIFTS BETWEEN THE TWO CLASSES OF TAXABLE PROPERTY. CURRENT LAW LIMITS THOSE SHIFTS AT FIVE PERCENT BUT THIS BILL WOULD RESTRICT THE SHIFT IN THE TOWN OF CLARKSTOWN TO NO MORE THAN ONE PERCENT TO CREATE STABILITY IN THE TAX BASE FROM YEAR TO YEAR. SIMILAR LEGISLATION WAS PROPOSED AND IMPLEMENTED IN PRIOR YEARS AND THIS ACT WILL EXTEND THE LIMITATION IN THE TOWN OF CLARKSTOWN FOR ANOTHER YEAR

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.
