RSA 76 Apportionment, Assessment and Abatement of Taxes

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

76:20 Record.

No abatement of a tax is of any effect until recorded in the records of the selectmen. If the selectmen have left a copy of the record of taxes assessed at the office of the town clerk, pursuant to RSA 76:7, then at the time of recording an abatement of a tax the selectmen shall, in writing, notify the town clerk of the abatement, stating the name of the person to whom the tax was assessed, the year of the assessment, the amount of the original assessed valuation, and the amount of the assessed valuation and of the tax abated. The town clerk shall thereupon make a notation, in red ink and above the amount previously recorded as assessed and taxed, of the amount of assessed valuation and of the tax abated against the name of the person to whom the tax was assessed, as it appears upon the inventory record on file in his office.

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.

Think it through

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
