The sponsor's argument

Why Pete Harckham says this is needed

Putnam county executive and municipalities have requested that the state allow the extension of the one percent increased county sales tax for an additional two years. With the passage of this sales tax extender Putnam County will enter into a historic agreement with all towns and villages to share sales tax revenue for the first time in county history, the municipalities shall be limited to using this sales tax revenue for local infrastructure projects and capital improvements. They shall not use the revenue for other operating costs or budgetary needs including but not limited to payroll.

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.
