Propose a change

Title 36 Public Land

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

36-7-320. Duty to contract; contents; withdrawal of land and filing of bond necessary.

Upon the withdrawal of the land by the department of the interior, it shall be the duty of the board to enter into a contract with the parties submitting the proposal, which contract shall contain complete specifications of the location, dimensions, character and estimated cost of the proposed ditch, canal or other irrigation work; the price and terms per acre at which such works and perpetual water rights shall be sold to settlers; the price and terms upon which the state is to dispose of the land to settlers; provided, that such price and terms for irrigation works, water rights and for lands to be disposed of by the state to settlers shall, in all cases, be reasonable and just. This contract shall not be entered into on the part of the state until the withdrawal of these lands by the department of the interior and the filing of a satisfactory bond on the part of the proposed contractor for irrigation works, which bond shall be in a penal sum equal to five percent (5%) of the estimated cost of the works, and to be conditioned for the faithful performance of the provisions of the contract with the state.

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.
