The sponsor's argument

Why James Skoufis says this is needed

This legislation is a negotiated change to the underlying chapter to take into consideration the resource constraints of smaller munici- palities.

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.
