The sponsor's argument

Why Pete Harckham says this is needed

This legislation is a negotiated change to the underlying chapter to provide the regulated community one additional year before the new requirements take effect.

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.
