The sponsor's argument

Why Anthony H. Palumbo says this is needed

One of the major roles that village government plays is protecting the safety of their residents. Traffic safety is critical to quality of life to many Long Islanders. This specific legislation was introduced at the request of the village of East Hampton as a means of addressing an increasing problem of excessive vehicle speeds. It would enable the village to establish a demonstration program imposing monetary liability on the owner of a vehicle for failure of an operator to comply with posted maximum speed limits to provide an additional tool in protecting the lives of motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists.

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.
