Propose a change

Title 37 Public Utilities

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.

What to do with it
As published

37-9-305. Fences and cattle guards; liability for damages.

Any corporation operating a railway and failing to fence the same and to construct and maintain suitable cattle guards as required by W.S. 37-9-304, shall be liable to the owner or owners of any livestock killed or injured by reason of its failure to construct or keep in repair the fence or cattle guard in the manner provided in W.S. 37-9-304, for the full amount of the damage sustained by the owner on account thereof and to make a prima facie case for recovery, it shall only be necessary for the owner to prove the loss or injury to his property; provided, that no corporation operating a railroad shall be liable for any damage occasioned by the willful act of the owner or of his agent or employees or for stock killed or injured on public road crossings unless negligence on the part of the corporation, its agents, servants or employees can be shown.

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.
