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Probation Service Act 1993 (repealed)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

25 Probation rules.

(1) The Secretary of State may make rules— (a) regulating the constitution, procedure, powers and duties of probation committees and probation liaison committees and the expenses which may be incurred by them and the manner in which those expenses are to be defrayed; (b) limiting the number of staff of probation committees (other than probation officers) who may be appointed; (c) regulating the qualifications, manner of appointment and duties of probation officers; (d) prescribing anything else which under this Act may be prescribed. (2) Nothing in any rules made under this section with respect to the constitution, procedure, powers and duties of probation liaison committees shall apply to a committee for an area within the inner London probation area, except in so far as may be determined under section 13(2) by the probation committee for that area.

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.
