Propose a change

Title 14 Children

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.

14-3-406. Child in custody; no shelter care placement

without court order; exceptions; notice to parent or guardian; release. (a) A child taken into temporary protective custody shall not be placed in shelter care without a court order unless shelter care is required to: (i) Protect the child's person; (ii) Prevent the child from being removed from the jurisdiction of the court; or (iii) Provide the child having no parent, guardian, custodian or other responsible adult with supervision and care and return him to the court when required. (b) Any person taking a child into temporary protective custody under this act shall as soon as possible notify the child's parent, guardian or custodian. Unless the child's shelter care is authorized by court order or required for one (1) of the reasons in subsection (a) of this section, the child shall be released to the care of his parent, guardian, custodian or other responsible adult upon that person's written promise to present the child before the court upon request.

Title

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

Why

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.
