The sponsor's argument

Why Luis R. Sepúlveda says this is needed

Pursuant to approval memo 16 of 2024, the Executive stated that changes were necessary to protect tenant privacy interests and to exempt those already subject to a judicial order, legal settlement, or binding agree- ment with a regulatory agency on bed bug notice and remediation obli- gations. This legislation is a negotiated change to the underlying chap- ter that addresses those concerns.

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.
