112B Duty to keep road passenger transport services and facilities under review

(1) The Passengers’ Council must, so far as it appears expedient from time to time to do so— (a) keep under review matters affecting the interests of the public in relation to road passenger transport services and facilities; and (b) make representations to, and consult, such persons as it considers appropriate about those matters. (2) The Council and any other public body may enter into an agreement for that other body to be responsible, in accordance with the agreement, for— (a) determining what is expedient for the purposes of subsection (1) in relation to an area specified in the agreement; and (b) otherwise performing the Council’s functions under subsection (1) in relation to that area. (3) So long as an agreement under subsection (2) is in force— (a) the duties of the Council under subsection (1) in relation to the area specified in the agreement fall on the other party to the agreement instead of on the Council; but (b) the Council is not prevented from doing anything mentioned in subsection (1) in relation to that area. (4) An agreement under subsection (2)— (a) may be entered into on such terms and conditions as the parties to it may agree; and (b) may contain provision for determining, for the purposes of this section, in what circumstances things done under or for the purposes of subsection (1) are to be treated as done in relation to the area specified in the agreement.

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.
