Judges Pensions (India and Burma) Act 1948 (repealed)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.

What to do with it
As published

4 Supplementary pensions to European barrister judges of High Court at Rangoon.

(1) The Secretary of State may grant a pension payable out of moneys provided by Parliament to any European who— (a) was not a member of the Indian Civil Service or the Burma Civil Service (Class 1); and (b) was, immediately before the fourth day of January, nineteen hundred and forty-eight, a judge of the High Court at Rangoon; and (c) retires, either before or after the passing of this Act. (2) The annual amount of a pension under this section shall be such amount as will, when added to the annual amount of the pension granted or to be granted by the Government of Burma to the person in question, amount to the sum specified in subsection (3) of this section or to the annual amount of the maximum pension which might have been granted to him under the Government of Burma (High Court Judges) Order 1937, if the Burma Independence Act 1947, had not been passed and he had continued to serve in the office which he held immediately before the said fourth day of January until he attained the age of sixty years, whichever is the less. (3) The said sum is the sum which bears to one thousand two hundred pounds the same proportion as the number of completed months in the service of the person in question, increased by two years, bears to the number of completed months in eleven and a half years.

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.

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.
