Propose a change

Transport Act 1968

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

9B Consultation and publicity with respect to policies as to services.

(1) When considering from time to time the formulation of policies for the purposes of section 9A(1) of this Act, the Authority for a passenger transport area shall consult— (a) with every Passenger Transport Authority, county council or regional council whose area may be affected by those policies; and (b) either with persons operating public passenger transport services within their area or with organisations appearing to the Authority to be representative of such persons; and where the passenger transport area is in England and Wales the Authority shall also consult with the councils of the districts comprised in the county which is coterminous with or includes that area about the requirements of transport arising out of or in connection with the exercise and performance by those councils of their functions as local education authorities or of their social services functions. (2) As soon as practicable after any occasion when they formulate new or altered policies for those purposes, the Authority concerned shall publish a statement of all policies so formulated by them on that or any previous occasion which for the time being apply in relation to the performance by the Executive for their area of their duty to secure services under section 9A(3). (3) When the Authority publish such a statement, they shall send a copy of the statement— (a) to each Authority or council whom they were required to consult under subsection (1)(a) above; and (b) to each of the persons or (as the case may be) organisations whom they consulted under subsection (1)(b) above; in relation to the formulation of their policies on the occasion in question. (4) The Authority shall also— (a) cause a copy of the statement last published by them under subsection (2) above to be made available for inspection (at all reasonable hours) at such places as they think fit; and (b) give notice, by such means as they think expedient for bringing it to the attention of the public, as to the places at which a copy of that statement may be inspected.

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.
