Propose a change

Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005

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

(2) The public authority must take reasonable steps to provide the assistance requested. (3) “Public authority” includes any person certain of whose functions are of a public nature but does not include— (a) a court or tribunal, (b) either House of Parliament or a person exercising functions in connection with proceedings in Parliament, or (c) the Scottish Parliament or a person exercising functions in connection with proceedings in the Scottish Parliament.

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.
