Title 17 Corporations, Partnerships and Associations

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

17-21-202. Creation of partnership.

(a) Except as provided in subsection (b) of this section, the association of two (2) or more persons to carry on as co-owners of a business for profit creates a partnership, whether or not the persons intend to create a partnership. (b) An association created under a statute other than this chapter, any predecessor law or comparable law of another jurisdiction is not a partnership. (c) In determining whether a partnership is created, the following rules apply: (i) Joint tenancy, tenancy in common, tenancy by the entireties, joint property, common property or part ownership does not by itself establish a partnership, even if the co-owners share profits made by the use of the property; (ii) The sharing of gross returns does not by itself establish a partnership, even if the persons sharing them have a joint or common right or interest in property from which the returns are derived; (iii) The receipt by a person of a share of the profits of a business is prima facie evidence that the person is a partner in the business, but that inference may not be drawn if the profits were received in payment: (A) Of a debt by installments or otherwise; (B) For services as an independent contractor or of wages or other compensation to an employee; (C) Of rent; (D) Of an annuity or other retirement or health benefit to a beneficiary, representative or designee of a deceased or retired partner; (E) Of interest or other charge on a loan, even if the amount of payment varies with the profits of the business, including a direct or indirect present or future ownership of the collateral or rights to income, proceeds or increase in value derived from the collateral; or (F) Of consideration for the sale of the goodwill of a business or other property by installments or otherwise. (d) Except as provided by W.S. 17-21-308, persons who are not partners as to each other are not partners as to other persons. (e) A partnership created under this chapter is a general partnership and the partners are general partners of the partnership.

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.
