Title 18 Counties

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

18-4-201. Election for establishment; mill levy; custodian; restriction on use; investment.

(a) Each board of county commissioners may by resolution provide for an election to decide whether a building fund of a specified amount to be raised within a specified time not exceeding ten (10) years, should be accumulated to erect, add to or improve county buildings. After the resolution has been made the proposal shall be submitted on a separate ballot to the qualified electors of the county, at an election called, conducted, canvassed and returned in the manner provided for bond elections by the Political Subdivision Bond Election Law, W.S. 22-21-101 through 22-21-112. The ballot shall set forth in concise language the purpose for establishing the building fund and shall permit each voter to vote "For the establishment of a building fund" or "Against the establishment of a building fund". If a majority is in favor of the proposal to establish the building fund the proposal carries, and if a majority is against the proposal it fails. (b) If the proposal carries the board of county commissioners may levy a tax to raise money directly for the building fund, providing this levy and other county levies do not exceed the constitutional limitation in addition: (i) The funds so raised shall be kept by the county treasurer until sufficient to commence the building, addition or improvement; (ii) The building fund shall be held by the county treasurer for the purpose specified and shall not be used for any other purpose; (iii) The county commissioners may invest these funds to realize the greatest amount of interest as provided by W.S. 9-4-831.

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.
