The sponsor's argument

Why the sponsor says this is needed

Pursuant to approval memo 99 of 2024, the Executive expressed support for the goal of the legislation, but noted that changes were required to clarify the duties of model management companies and brands to ensure they engage in contract transparency, as well as provide a safe and non-exploitive working environment for models. This legislation is a negotiated change to the underlying chapter that addresses those concerns.

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.
