Propose a change

Title 30 Mines and Minerals

Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.

What to do with it
As published

(a) No owner or operator shall abandon or indefinitely close down any underground mine until the inspector performs a final inspection. (b) Upon abandonment or closing down of an underground mine, the owner or operator shall effectively close or fence off all surface openings through which persons or animals could fall or enter. (c) Upon abandonment or closing down of a strip or open-pit mine, mining or prospecting pit or excavation, appropriate action shall be taken where necessary to safeguard against injury to persons or animals. (d) Within thirty (30) days after abandonment or closing down of any underground mine, the owner or operator shall file with the inspector a map showing all pertinent data as of the date of closing or abandonment in the form prescribed by the inspector. The map and all data shown thereon shall be confidential and not open for public inspection until (2) consecutive years have elapsed without resumption of mining activity, unless release has been authorized in writing by the owner or unless release is necessary for safety reasons shown by an adjoining operator or other person.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
