The sponsor's argument

Why Jack M. Martins says this is needed

Tip wage earners are the people we see every day. They cut our hair, serve us meals, deliver our groceries, drive our rideshare, and take. our coffee orders. Most typically, tipped work is in the service and hospitality industry, and tend to be younger than most of the working population - 20-34 years old according to the Budget Lab at Yale Univer- sity. To help working families and young workers, this bill would elimi- nate taxes on tips, thus economically empowering workers. The time has corn e for the government to stop taking from our most vulnerable employees - tipped workers

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.
