Title 26 Insurance Code

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

26-2-204. Insurers assessed for department expenditures.

(a) In addition to any other tax, license or fee imposed by law, each authorized insurer shall pay to the commissioner on or before June 1 of each year a fee for the privilege of transacting the business of insurance in this state, computed as follows: (i) On or before April 1 of each year, the commissioner, with the governor's approval, shall estimate the expenditures of the department for the fiscal year commencing July 1, including the expense of any regularly scheduled association, zone, triannual or similar periodic statutorily scheduled financial examination of any authorized insurer, provided that neither the actual expenditures nor estimated expenditures of a fiscal year within the same biennial budget for the department shall not exceed the amount appropriated to the department by law; and (ii) The commissioner shall then divide the estimated amount of expenditures, after deducting therefrom any expected unexpended funds in the account of the insurance department, by the total number of insurers then authorized to transact insurance in this state as of December 31 of the immediately preceding year. The result of this computation is the amount of the fee the commissioner shall assess each insurer. (b) Upon receiving a statement of assessment from the commissioner, each authorized insurer shall promptly pay the fee to the commissioner.

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.
