As published

9:15 Creation.

The governor is hereby authorized to draw his warrant, with the advice and consent of the council, upon any money in the general fund of the treasury for sums to be delivered into the custody of the responsible heads of departments and institutions for their use as petty cash revolving funds within their departments or institutions. The authorized balances and number of revolving funds shall be kept at minimum levels consistent with efficiency, and shall be carried as a charge against the departments or institutions concerned. No revolving fund shall be authorized by the governor and council except upon written application establishing the necessity for such fund consistent with the efficient operation of the applicant department. Any revolving fund authorized hereunder for the department of transportation or for the fish and game department shall be established from the highway fund or the fish and game fund, respectively. The heads of such departments and institutions shall be personally responsible for such moneys while in revolving funds, and shall be authorized to use the same as a petty cash fund only for such departmental purposes as are authorized by law. No payment from a revolving fund shall bind the state unless and until the specific payment has been pre-audited by the director, division of accounting services and warranted by the governor with the advice and consent of the council. After such audit and warrant, the treasurer shall be authorized to issue out public funds to restore the authorized balance of the revolving fund concerned. Department heads responsible for revolving funds shall be bonded in sums sufficient to protect the state against loss of any revolving funds the authorized balances of which exceed $1,000. All existing revolving funds shall lapse upon the date of the first meeting of the governor and council in 1953, unless renewed at that meeting and revolving funds thereafter authorized hereunder shall similarly lapse on the date of the first meeting of the governor and council in each biennium thereafter, unless then renewed and unless sooner reduced or lapsed by resolution of the governor and council. Upon such reduction or lapse, the responsible head of the department or institution concerned shall pay the revolving fund moneys into the treasury and the treasurer shall credit the same against the amount standing as a charge to the department or institution concerned.

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.
