Propose a change

Local Transport Act 2008

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

102H General functions

(1) The Secretary of State may by regulations provide for an STB to have any of the following functions in relation to its area— (a) to prepare a transport strategy for the area (see section 102I); (b) to provide advice to the Secretary of State about the exercise of transport functions in relation to the area (whether exercisable by the Secretary of State or others); (c) to co-ordinate the carrying out of transport functions in relation to the area that are exercisable by different constituent authorities, with a view to improving the effectiveness and efficiency in the carrying out of those functions; (d) if the STB considers that a transport function in relation to the area would more effectively and efficiently be carried out by the STB, to make proposals to the Secretary of State for the transfer of that function to the STB; (e) to make other proposals to the Secretary of State about the role and functions of the STB. (2) The Secretary of State may by regulations provide for an STB to have other functions of a description set out in the regulations. (3) Regulations under subsection (2) may be made only for functions to be exercisable in relation to the area of the STB that— (a) relate to transport, (b) the Secretary of State considers can appropriately be exercised by the STB, and (c) are not already exercisable in relation to that area by a local authority or a public authority (see instead sections 102J and 102K respectively for a power to transfer such functions to an STB). (4) The Secretary of State may by regulations make further provision about how an STB is to carry out functions that it has under or by virtue of this Part. (5) Regulations under this section in relation to an existing STB may be made only with the consent of the STB. (6) Nothing in this section limits the power of the Secretary of State to confer other functions on an STB under this Part.

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.
