RSA 78 Tobacco Tax
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.
Change 1
78:11 Affixing Stamps.
I. A wholesaler shall affix stamps to each package of 20 or 25 cigarettes or little cigars sold or distributed to a retailer in this state. II. Every wholesaler shall keep a sufficient number of recently purchased stamps on hand at any premises in this state where cigarettes or little cigars are possessed, stored, or sold, including a foreign state's tax stamps or indicia if the wholesaler is currently and legitimately doing business in that state, to pay the tax due on all cigarettes and little cigars present at the premises at any given time; provided, however, that the wholesaler shall affix the stamps before it transfers possession of the cigarettes or little cigars to a retailer in this state. For purposes of this paragraph, "recently purchased" means within the previous 90 days. III. Cigarettes and little cigars sold in packages of other than 20 or 25 shall be exempt from the stamping requirements of this subdivision, but shall be subject to tax as provided in RSA 78:2, I and to the provisions of RSA 78:13 and RSA 78:14 concerning the required indicia of tax paid. IV. Any person who violates this section by failing to pay the taxes due shall be guilty of a felony. Source. 2019, 178:1, eff. Jan. 1, 2020.

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.
