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.

(3) Regulations under this section conferring a power to direct may include provision— (a) for the power to be given generally or subject to conditions or limitations; (b) for the power to apply to all transport functions or only to those functions specified or described in the regulations; (c) about the manner in which directions are to be given; (d) about the consequences arising if there is a contravention of a direction. (4) Provision under subsection (3)(d) may include provision enabling the STB— (a) to take any steps it considers appropriate to reverse or modify the effect of a constituent authority exercising a transport function in contravention of the direction, and (b) to recover any reasonable expenses incurred in taking those steps as a civil debt from the constituent authority.

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.
