Propose a change

Title 1 Civil Procedure

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

1-26-603. Hearing.

(a) If the court determines that the request should be granted, it shall hold a hearing upon reasonable notice to the parties to determine compensation. (b) The court shall proceed without a jury and in an informal manner. The parties may present oral and documentary proof and may argue in support of their respective positions but the rules of evidence need not be followed. Neither party is required to offer the opinion of an expert or to be represented by an attorney. Unless demanded by a party and at his own expense, a record of testimony received at the hearing need not be kept. (c) Costs shall be claimed and taxed as in other condemnation actions. Upon entry of judgment, the clerk shall serve upon the parties a copy of the judgment with notice of its entry, together with instructions as to the procedure for demanding a retrial.

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.
