The sponsor's argument

Why Christopher Ryan says this is needed

Lieutenant Donald R. Hill, born July 6th, 1952, resided at 244 Munn St. in the City of Oswego and was 43 at the time that he was killed in the line of duty. Lt. Hill was appointed to the Oswego Police Department on September 10th, 1975 and was planning on a near retirement, after serv- ing more than 20 years with the department. On November 11th, 1995, Lieutenant Hill was one of two officers directing traffic for an over- time detail on State Route 104 East when he was struck by a vehicle and died from injuries sustained in the accident. Lt. Hill was known for his cheerful, calm, even-mannered personality. Lt. Hill was a well-respected husband, father, and police officer. This dedication will serve not only to honor the life and legacy of Lt. Hill, but to also serve as a reminder to motorists of the need to take caution on our roadways.

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.
