Propose a change

Justices of the Peace Act 1997 (repealed)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

(2) The Authority may also arrange for the discharge of any of their functions— (a) by the chairman of the Authority; or (b) by the justices’ chief executive. (3) Subject to regulations made under this Act, the Authority shall have power to regulate their own procedure, including quorum.

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.
