Title 41 Water

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

41-3-603. Commissioners; general powers and duties; appeals from decisions.

(a) The water commissioner shall, as near as may be practicable, divide, regulate and control the use of the water of all streams, springs, lakes or other sources of water within his district as will prevent the waste of water or its use in excess of the volume to which the appropriator is lawfully entitled. The water commissioner has the authority to require the filling of any reservoir whenever practical and whenever water is available for storage from the stream from which the appropriation is established. (b) Any person who may be injured by the action or inaction of the water commissioner has the right to appeal to the division superintendent and, from his decision, the person aggrieved may appeal to the state engineer. From the decision of the state engineer, an appeal may be taken to the district court of the county where the ditch or ditches, reservoir, well or wells over which the controversy arises are situated.

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.
