As published

17-18-105. Option; shareholder takeover protection provisions.

(a) Any qualified corporation is subject to the shareholder takeover protection provisions listed in W.S. 17-18-105 through 17-18-111 unless the corporation elects not to be subject to the restrictions. A corporation which is not a qualified corporation may elect not to be subject to the shareholder takeover provisions in the event it becomes a qualified corporation. The election shall be made either: (i) Through a specific provision in the articles of incorporation; (ii) Through a statement in the bylaws that the corporation elects not to be subject to the restrictions in W.S. 17-18-105 through 17-18-111. This election shall be effective immediately upon adoption of the bylaws, unless the articles of incorporation provide otherwise; or (iii) By filing a statement making the election with the secretary of state. This election shall be authorized by the corporation's board of directors and shall be effective from the date of filing with the secretary of state. (b) If a takeover offer is outstanding and in progress at the time the election becomes effective, all further acquisition of stock by the offeror shall cease until the offer is in compliance with the stockholder takeover protection provision of W.S. 17-18-105 through 17-18-111. The offeror may take any steps necessary to comply with these provisions before the election becomes effective. (c) The election not to be subject to the shareholder takeover provisions of W.S. 17-18-105 through 17-18-111 may be revoked by the same method employed under subsection (a) of this section for making the election.

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.
