RSA 31 Powers and Duties of Towns

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

31:22-a Cy Pres, Cemetery Trust Funds.

Upon petition of a majority of the board of trustees and upon a finding that it is in the public interest, the superior court or the probate court may direct the application of only accumulated excess trust income for the general care, capital improvements to or expansion of the cemetery relative to which the particular trust applies. The court shall determine from the terms of the particular trust whether the excess income accumulation of the particular burial lot trust fund will not be required for the care of the burial lot in the foreseeable future. In determining this requirement the court shall consider: I. The financial status of the trust account. II. A projection of future interest rates. III. A projection of future labor costs necessary to maintain the lot. Source. 1977, 128:2. 1992, 284:1, eff. Jan. 1, 1993.

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.
