Propose a change

Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act 2020

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.

26 Procedure for regulations

(1) Regulations under sections 20 to 25 are to be made by statutory instrument. (2) A statutory instrument containing— (a) regulations made under section 20, other than one to which subsection (6)(a) applies, or (b) regulations made under section 25 which make provision by amending an Act or an Act of the Scottish Parliament, must be laid before Parliament as soon as reasonably practicable after being made. (3) Regulations contained in a statutory instrument laid before Parliament by virtue of subsection (2) cease to have effect at the end of the period of 40 days beginning with the day on which the instrument is made, unless during that period the instrument is approved by a resolution of each House of Parliament. (4) In calculating the period of 40 days, no account is to be taken of any time during which— (a) Parliament is dissolved or prorogued, or (b) both Houses of Parliament are adjourned for more than 4 days. (5) Where regulations cease to have effect as a result of subsection (3) that does not— (a) affect anything previously done under or by virtue of the regulations, or (b) prevent the making of new regulations. (6) A statutory instrument containing— (a) regulations under section 20 which merely revoke other regulations under that section (with or without transitional provision), or (b) regulations under section 23(4), is subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament. (7) Regulations under section 24(3) may not be made unless a draft of the statutory instrument containing them has been laid before, and approved by a resolution of, each House of Parliament. (8) A statutory instrument containing regulations under section 25 which do not make provision by amending an Act or an Act of the Scottish Parliament is subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament (unless the regulations were contained in a statutory instrument laid before Parliament by virtue of subsection (2)).

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.
