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.

As published

31:39-e Bylaws Affecting Forestry Activities.

I. In this section, "forestry activities" means developing, caring for, or cultivating forests; timber harvesting; silviculture; and customary management and supporting activities. II. Before enacting any ordinance, bylaw, rule, or other regulatory provision that is likely to affect forestry activities, a municipality shall consider the possible adverse effects on forestry activities and take any steps that are reasonably available to minimize such effects. III. No municipality shall enact any ordinance, bylaw, rule, or other regulatory provision that applies only to forestry activities which adversely affects such activities. Nothing in this paragraph shall limit a municipality's authority to regulate forestry activities under duly adopted land use ordinances and regulations, subject to the protections of RSA 672:1, III-c, RSA 674:1, VI, and RSA 674:32-a through 674:32-d.

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.
