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Probation Service Act 1993 (repealed)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

11 Default power where probation committee fails to discharge duty.

(1) If the Secretary of State is of the opinion that, without reasonable excuse, a probation committee— (a) is failing properly to discharge any duty imposed on it by or under any enactment; or (b) has so failed and is likely to do so again; he may by order make such provision as he considers requisite for the purpose of securing that the duty is properly discharged by the committee. (2) The order shall state that the Secretary of State is of the opinion mentioned in subsection (1). (3) It shall be the duty of the committee to comply with the provision made by the order.

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.
