Propose a change

Probation Service Act 1993 (repealed)

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

10 Provision of accommodation by responsible authorities.

(1) This section applies in any case where the expenses of a probation committee in providing any accommodation would fall under this Act to be defrayed by the responsible authority or authorities for the probation area in question. (2) A responsible authority for that area may, with the agreement of the probation committee and (if the expenses would have fallen to be defrayed in part by one or more other responsible authorities) of the other responsible authority or authorities, itself provide the accommodation in question for the use of the committee. (3) Where a local authority provides accommodation with the agreement of one or more other responsible authorities, the expenses of providing it shall be apportioned between them— (a) where all or any of the authorities concerned are councils of metropolitan districts or outer London boroughs, in proportion to the populations of their respective areas; or (b) in any other case, in such manner as may be agreed between the authorities concerned or (in default of agreement) determined by the Secretary of State.

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.
