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.
(a) After providing notice to the court, the county attorney who initiated involuntary hospitalization procedures, any gatekeeper designated by the department and all interested parties, the hospital may release an improved patient on convalescent leave subject to the following:
(i) The hospital has determined that the patient is likely to follow the conditions the hospital determines necessary for the patient;
(ii) The hospital has determined that the patient will not likely be a danger to himself or others during convalescent leave; and
(iii) Release on convalescent leave shall include a plan of treatment on an outpatient or nonhospital basis and other provisions for continuing responsibility of the patient by the hospital. Prior to the end of one (1) year on convalescent leave, and not less than annually thereafter, the hospital shall reexamine the facts relating to the hospitalization of the patient on convalescent leave and if the hospital determines hospitalization is no longer anticipated, the hospital shall discharge the patient and make a report of discharge to the court, to any gatekeeper designated by the department and to the county attorney who initiated procedures for the involuntary hospitalization.
(b) The hospital from which the patient is given convalescent leave may readmit to the hospital the involuntary hospitalized patient who has been released on convalescent leave if the hospital reasonably believes that it is in the best interests of the patient. The patient readmitted shall have all the rights he had upon admission to the hospital. Upon readmission he shall be given notice of his rights pursuant to W.S. 25-10-116. It is the responsibility of the hospital to provide or pay for any transportation or other services in connection with any revocation of a convalescent status.
(c) The hospital shall discharge any patient who has remained on convalescent leave for a period of two (2) continuous years.
(d) This section shall not apply to a person who has been committed to the hospital pursuant to a criminal proceeding.

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.
