Propose a change

Provisional Order (Marriages) Act 1905

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.

Change 1

What to do with it
As published

1 †Provisional orders for removing doubts as to validity of marriages.

(1) Lord Chancellor may, in the case of marriages solemnised in England which appear to him to be invalid or of doubtful validity by reason of some informality, make an order for the purpose of removing the invalidity or doubt. (2) The draft of every such order shall be advertised, in such manner as the Lord Chancellor thinks fit, not less than one month before the order is made, and the Lord Chancellor shall consider all objections to the order sent to him in writing during that month, and shall, if it appears to him necessary, direct a local inquiry into the validity of any such objections. (3) An order of the Lord Chancellor under this Act shall be subject to special parliamentary procedure.

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.

Think it through

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
