Propose a change

Title 40 Trade and Commerce

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

40-26-137. Pattern or practice case; penalties.

(a) The attorney general may file a claim for relief in district court for appropriate relief if the enforcing authority has reasonable cause to believe that a person is engaged in a pattern or practice of resistance to the full enjoyment of a right granted under this chapter or a person has been denied a right granted by this chapter and that denial raises an issue of general public importance. (b) In an action under this section, the court may: (i) Award preventive relief, including a permanent or temporary injunction, restraining order, or other order against the person responsible for a violation of this chapter as necessary to assure the full enjoyment of the rights granted by this chapter; (ii) Award other appropriate relief, including monetary damages, reasonable attorney's fees, and court costs; and (iii) To vindicate the public interest, assess a civil penalty against the respondent in an amount that does not exceed fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00) for a first violation and one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00) for a second or subsequent violation. (c) A person may intervene in an action under this section if the person is a person aggrieved by the discriminatory housing practice or a party to a conciliation agreement concerning the discriminatory housing practice.

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.
