RSA 53-B Solid Waste Management Districts
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.
Change 1
53-B:6 Vote on Establishing District.
I. The governing bodies shall cause the question of accepting any proposed agreement to be presented for determination by vote of the respective legislative bodies. In municipalities that hold town meetings, the proposed agreement shall be voted on, in accordance with proper notice and procedure requirements, at the next annual town meeting or at a special town meeting called for this purpose. Voting at a town meeting may be by printed ballot or official ballot. In all other municipalities, the legislative bodies shall vote on the proposed agreement within 60 days of the governing bodies' receiving the proposed agreement. The question to be voted on shall be: "Shall the (insert name of municipality) accept the provisions of RSA 53-B:1-RSA 53-B:14 providing for the establishment of a solid waste management district, together with the municipalities of _________________ in accordance with the provisions of the proposed agreement filed with the (insert appropriate office for governing body)?" Approval by a legislative body shall be by simple majority unless the agreement waives the 120-day debt rejection period and authority set forth in RSA 53-B:7, VI, in which case approval must be by 2/3 vote. If all of the legislative bodies vote in the affirmative, the proposed solid waste management district shall thereby be established in accordance with the terms of the proposed agreement. Otherwise, the district shall not be established, except as specified in paragraph II. II. The proposed agreement may contain a provision for the establishment of the district when more than one but not all of the legislative bodies vote in the affirmative. Such provision need not require any additional votes by the legislative bodies in order to establish the district, but it may not include in the district any municipality, the legislative body of which did not approve the proposed agreement.

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.
