The sponsor's argument

Why Robert Rolison says this is needed

The original legislation (Chapter 455, L. 2011) expires on December 31, 2025. This bill will extend the legislation to December 31, 2027.

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.
