Purpose, from the sponsor's memo

Section 1 of the bill would amend § 1285-u of the Public Authorities Law ("PAL") to provide a definition of Enhanced Septic System Projects. Section 2 of the bill would establish increased reimbursements for installation of Enhanced Septic System Projects at seventy five percent of the eligible costs incurred up to a maximum of $25,000. Section 3 of the bill provides for an immediate effective date and clar- ifies that the amendments only apply to eligible projects that partic- ipate in the program after the effective date of the act.

The sponsor's argument

Why Pete Harckham says this is needed

The State Septic System Replacement fund focuses on improving water quality by providing funds to counties to help homeowners replace cesspools and septic systems that are adversely impacting designated waterbodies. Participating counties provide grants to reimburse property owners for up to fifty percent of the costs (up to a maximum of ten thousand dollars) of their eligible septic system projects. This bill would encourage the installation of Enhanced Septic System Projects by establishing the reimbursement rate at seventy-five percent of eligible costs incurred up to a maximum of $25,000 on reimbursements for Enhanced Septic System Projects.

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.
