Title 9 Administration of the Government

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

9-4-106. Interest on public warrants.

(a) All state, county, school district, town, city or other public warrants issued for any salary, fee or for any public indebtedness, claim or demand which has accrued on any public contract, transaction or liability shall draw interest upon the amount expressed in the warrant from the date of presentation for payment at the treasury or other place at which the warrant may be payable until there are sufficient funds in the treasury for payment. The rate of interest shall be established by the governmental entity based upon market conditions at the time of presentation of the warrant for payment and shall be stated within the warrant. No rate of interest shall be allowed or paid upon a warrant except as established under this section. (b) Each state or county treasurer or municipal officer authorized to act as treasurer, to whom a warrant is presented for payment and funds in the treasury are insufficient to pay the warrant, shall endorse the words "not paid, for want of funds" and officially sign and date the warrant.

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.
