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.

As published

5-9-134. Probation; correction and reduction of sentence.

The circuit court may place a criminal defendant on probation pursuant to W.S. 7-13-301 through 7-13-307. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the probation period for a defendant whose disposition includes participation in a substance abuse treatment program or a court supervised treatment program may exceed the maximum term of imprisonment established for the offense, but shall not exceed three (3) years. The court shall conduct, on at least a monthly basis, a review on the progress of a defendant sentenced to treatment under this section. The review may be conducted in a manner the court deems appropriate, but shall include receiving regular progress reports from the treatment provider.

Your change, as a redline

Title

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Why

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.
