Propose a change

Title 5 Courts

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.

Change 1

What to do with it
As published

5-6-110. Postponement of trial for violation of city

ordinance; sureties or deposit may be required; breach of recognizance; procedure where offense not cognizable before judge. When a person is ordered by the municipal judge to enter into a recognizance, he may at the discretion of the municipal judge be permitted to sign his own recognizance, furnish sureties or deposit in cash with the judge or his designee the amount named in the bond. If the person so recognized fails to appear and comply with all of the requirements of the bond, the judge having cognizance shall, if there are no mitigating circumstances, declare the bond forfeited and order the cash deposited into the general fund of the treasury of the city. If it appears to the judge the accused is triable for an offense not cognizable before the judge, the judge shall halt further proceedings and proceed as in other cases exclusively cognizable before the district court.

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.
