RSA 38 Municipal Electric, Gas, or Water Systems
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.

38:35 Financial Responsibility.
I. Any retail electric customer located within a municipality that has established a municipal electric utility after July 1, 1997, but who is not within the service area of such utility, shall not be responsible for, and no entity may require the customer to pay, through taxes or otherwise, any costs associated with such utility except for electric power and services consumed directly by the municipality, and any electric power and services sold by the utility to the customer. II. Any retail electric customer located within the service area of a municipal electric utility established after July 1, 1997, who does not purchase generation services by or acquired through such municipal electric utility, as allowed by RSA 38:34, shall not be responsible for, and no entity may require the customer to pay, through taxes or otherwise, any costs of generation services from such municipal electric utility, except for electric power consumed directly by the municipality. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent any property owners or retail electric customers from signing contracts of any duration with such municipal electric utility after retail electric competition is certified to exist pursuant to RSA 38:36, and being bound by their terms, including damages for termination. III.

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.
