Propose a change

Finance (No. 2) Act 2023

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

67 Simultaneous mergers

(1) Subsections (2) to (4) apply if, at the same time as SP1 becomes connected with SP2, SP1 also becomes connected with one or more other small producers (who are not already connected with one another). (2) References in sections 61 and 64 to SP2 include references to the other small producers becoming connected with SP1. (3) For the purposes of section 64— (a) the “larger producer” is the producer with a greater alcohol production amount attributable to the producer’s premises for the pre-merger year than any of the other producers mentioned in subsection (1), and (b) each of the other producers is a “smaller producer”, (and this subsection applies instead of section 64(5)). (4) If the amount mentioned in subsection (3)(a) is equal in relation to any two or more of the producers mentioned in subsection (1), any one of them may be treated as the “larger producer” for the purposes of section 64.

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.
