The sponsor's argument

Why Andrea Stewart-Cousins says this is needed

This legislation is a negotiated change to the underlying chapter to alter the program's relief structure and authorize small businesses to benefit from the program.

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.
