The sponsor's argument

Why Robert Ortt says this is needed

The county of Niagara requires legislation to extend the expiration of the imposition of an additional 1% sales and compensating use tax which expires November 30, 2025.

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.
