Propose a change

Irish Sailors and Soldiers Land Trust Act 1967

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

1 Power to provide living accommodation other than cottages and extension of power to sell cottages to widows.

(1) In section 3(1) of the Irish Free State (Consequential Provisions) Act 1922 (Session 2) (which established the Irish Sailors and Soldiers Land Trust for the purpose of providing cottages in Ireland for the accommodation of ex-servicemen of the first world war) the reference to providing cottages shall include a reference to providing, or assisting in the provision of, living accommodation other than cottages; and section 4(5) of the Irish Land (Provision for Sailors and Soldiers) Act 1919 as applied by section 3(3) of the said Act of 1922 (power to dispose of cottages which cease to be required) shall apply to any such accommodation as it applies to a cottage. (2) In section 1(1)(b) of the Irish Sailors and Soldiers Land Trust Act 1952 (which enables the Trust, subject to certain limitations, to sell cottages to the widows of ex-servicemen dying before or within six months after the commencement of that Act)— (a) the words “dying before or within six months after the commencement of this Act”; and (b) sub-paragraph (ii) (which limits the power of sale to cases where the ex-serviceman or his widow has within the said six months given notice of a desire to buy), together with the word “and” at the end of sub-paragraph (i), are hereby repealed.

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.
