Propose a change

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

41-9-221. Commissioners not to be confined to plans in petition.

The commissioners shall not be confined to the points of commencement, routes or termini of the drains or ditches, or the number, extent or size of the same, or the location, plan or extent of any levee, ditch or other work, as proposed by the petitioners, but shall locate, design, lay out and plan the same in such manner as to them shall seem best, to promote the public health or welfare, and to drain, or to protect the lands of the parties interested with the least damage and the greatest benefit to all lands affected thereby. And any plan proposed by the commissioners, may, on the application of any person interested, on the hearing hereinafter provided for, or on the application of the commissioners, be altered by the court, by written order, in such manner as shall appear to the court to be just.

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.
