Propose a change

Title 35 Public Health and Safety

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

35-1-626. Isolation; restraint; medication.

(a) Isolation or restraint of a client may be used only when less restrictive measures are ineffective or not feasible for the welfare of the client and shall be used for the shortest time possible. Each center or facility shall have a written policy covering the use of restraint or isolation which ensures that the dignity and safety of the individual are protected and that there is regular, frequent monitoring by trained staff. (b) No medication may be administered to a client except on the written order of a physician. A record of the medication which is administered to each patient shall be kept in his treatment record. Medication may not be used as punishment, for the convenience of staff or in quantities that interfere with a client's treatment program.

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.
