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

35-4-134. Examination and treatment of prisoners.

(a) Any individual confined or imprisoned in any state penal institution, county or city jail or any community correctional facility shall be examined for sexually transmitted diseases by the appropriate health officer or his qualified designee. (b) To suppress the spread of sexually transmitted disease among the confined population, the health officer or his qualified designee may: (i) Isolate prisoners infected with a treatable illness within the facility and require them to report for treatment by a licensed physician; or (ii) In the case of an individual infected with a noncurable sexually transmitted disease, provide for the minimum care and treatment of the individual pursuant to rules promulgated by the department of health with the advice of the department of corrections. (c) Nothing herein contained shall be construed to interfere with the service of any sentence imposed by a court as a punishment for the commission of a crime.

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.
