The sponsor's argument

Why Rachel May says this is needed

The South Onondaga Fire Department has had difficulty recruiting members from their district and are close to exceeding the forty-five percent cap.

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.
