Propose a change

Ordnance Factories and Military Services Act 1984

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.

2 Property, rights and liabilities.

(1) Any property, right or liability falls within this section if both of the following conditions are fulfilled in relation to it:— (a) a Minister of the Crown was entitled or subject to the property, right or liability immediately before the appointed day or, in the case of copyright, Her Majesty was then entitled to it, and (b) the property, right or liability then subsisted for the purposes of or in connection with, or was then otherwise attributable (wholly or partly) to, the operations of the Crown service known as the Royal Ordnance Factories. (2) Without prejudice to the generality of subsection (1)(b), any property, right or liability shall be taken to fulfil the condition there mentioned if— (a) immediately before the appointed day the property, right or liability was appropriated as an asset or liability of the fund established in respect of the Royal Ordnance Factories under the Government Trading Funds Act 1973, or (b) the Secretary of State certifies in a written document on that day that after consulting the Treasury it appears to him that the condition was fulfilled immediately before that day in relation to any property, right or liability specified or described in or determined in accordance with the document. (3) In this section “appointed day”, in relation to any property, right or liability, means the day on which the scheme providing for its transfer comes into force.

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.
