The sponsor's argument

Why Liz Krueger says this is needed

In light of many recent election scandals around the country resulting from unqualified election workers, New York State must attempt to attract the most competent and well qualified inspectors and coordina- tors for its elections. The best way to attract competent workers is to increase compensation for those jobs. This need for competent election inspectors and coordinators is especially important in light of the upgrades that New York State is currently bringing to its election equipment. As we convert our elections to electronic voting machines, we must ensure that our inspectors and coordinators are even more competent and well trained to deal with this new equipment.

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.
