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

37-9-602. Verified statement of account; to be delivered

to company; account to be withheld out of subsequent payments. Every laborer, mechanic, ranchman, farmer, merchant, or other person performing any work or labor or furnishing any material, ranch or farm products, provisions, goods, or supplies to any contractor or subcontractor, in the construction of any railroad, or any part thereof, used by such contractor or subcontractor in carrying on said work of construction whose demand for work, labor, material, ranch or farm products, provisions, goods, or supplies so furnished has not been paid, may deliver to the company owning such railroad or to its agent, a verified account of the amount and value of the work, and labor so performed or the material, ranch or farm products, provisions, goods or supplies so furnished, and thereupon such company, or its agent, shall retain out of the subsequent payments to the contractor or contractors the amount of such unpaid account for the benefit of the person to whom the same is due.

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.
