Propose a change

RSA 48-A Housing Standards

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.

48-A:7 Standards for Public Agency.

An ordinance, code or bylaw adopted by a municipality pursuant hereto shall provide that the public agency may determine that a dwelling is unfit for human habitation if he finds that conditions exist in such dwelling which are unusually, abnormally, or unreasonably dangerous or injurious to the health or safety of the occupants of such dwelling, the occupants of neighboring dwellings or other residents of such municipality. Such conditions may include the following: Defects which increase beyond normal the hazards of fire, accident, or other calamities; lack of reasonable adequate ventilation, light, or sanitary facilities; dilapidation; disrepair, dangerous structural defects; uncleanliness; over-crowding; inadequate ingress and egress; inadequate drainage; or any violation of other health, fire or safety regulations.

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.

Think it through

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
