The sponsor's argument

Why Cordell Cleare says this is needed

Payment for code enforcement personnel would achieve two essential objectives. Firstly, compensation would encourage further employment of code enforcement personnel. With an increase in employment of code enforcement personnel, more safe housing would be readily available for tenants and homeowners. Secondly, compensation for this training would increase the pool of candidates of code enforcement personnel. This increase would improve the quality of code enforcement personnel and would lead to a higher standard of the code and safer housing.

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.
