What to do with it
As published

9-17-116. Fidelity fund for retailers; assessments.

(a) The corporation may establish a fidelity fund separate from all other funds and shall assess each retailer a one (1) time fee not to exceed one hundred dollars ($100.00) per sales location. The corporation is authorized to invest the funds or place the funds in one (1) or more interest bearing accounts. Monies deposited to the fund may be used to cover losses the corporation experiences due to nonfeasance, misfeasance or malfeasance of a lottery retailer. In addition, the funds may be used to purchase blanket bonds covering the Wyoming lottery corporation against losses from all retailers. At the end of each fiscal year, the corporation shall pay to the general lottery fund any amount in the fidelity fund which exceeds two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000.00) and the funds shall be commingled with and treated as net proceeds from the lottery. (b) A reserve account may be established as a general operating expense to cover amounts deemed uncollectible. The corporation shall establish procedures for minimizing any losses that may be experienced for the foregoing reasons and shall exercise and exhaust all available options in the procedures prior to amounts being written off to this account. (c) The corporation may require any retailer to post an appropriate bond, as determined by the corporation, using an insurance company acceptable to the corporation. The amount shall not exceed the applicable district sales average of lottery tickets for two (2) billing periods. (d) In its discretion, the corporation may allow a retailer to deposit and maintain with the corporation securities, held in trust in the name of the Wyoming lottery corporation, that are interest bearing or accruing. Securities eligible under this subsection shall be limited to: (i) Certificates of deposit issued by solvent banks or savings associations organized and existing under the laws of this state or under the laws of the United States; (ii) United States bonds, notes and bills for which the full faith and credit of the United States is pledged for the payment of principal and interest; (iii) Federal agency securities by an agency or instrumentality of the United States government.

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.
