The sponsor's argument

Why Patrick M. Gallivan says this is needed

BOCES are innovators in the development and delivery of highly success- ful curricula. By removing the sunset date that authorizes BOCES to enter into contracts with out-of-state school districts, we are provid- ing BOCES the opportunity to continue to generate additional revenue, which ultimately benefits their component school districts and the students they serve.

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.
