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.

38:40 Broadband Fund.
I. The funds received from the collection of access tariffs shall be kept as a separate fund to be known as the broadband fund. Such fund shall be allowed to accumulate from year to year, shall not be commingled with town or city tax revenues, and shall not be deemed part of the municipality's general fund accumulated surplus. Such fund may be expended only for the purposes specified in RSA 33:3 and RSA 33-B. II. Except when a capital reserve fund is established pursuant to paragraph III, all broadband funds shall be held in the custody of the municipal treasurer. Estimates of anticipated revenues and anticipated expenditures from the broadband fund shall be prepared and submitted to the governing body as a special warrant article as set forth in RSA 32, if applicable, and shall be included as part of the municipal budget submitted to the local legislative body for approval. Expenditures shall be within amounts appropriated by the local legislative body. III. At the option of the local governing body, all or part of any surplus in the broadband fund may be placed in one or more capital reserve funds held in the custody of the trustees of trust funds pursuant to RSA 35:10. If such a reserve fund is created, then the governing body, may expend such funds pursuant to RSA 35:15 without prior approval or appropriation by the local legislative body, but all such expenditures shall be reported to the municipality pursuant to RSA 38:41. This paragraph shall not be construed to prohibit the establishment of other capital reserve funds for any lawful purpose relating to broadband access. Source. 2006, 225:6, eff.

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.
