Propose a change

Town and Country Planning Act 1990

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

171G Temporary stop notice: offences

(1) A person commits an offence if he contravenes a temporary stop notice— (a) which has been served on him, or (b) a copy of which has been displayed in accordance with section 171E(5). (2) Contravention of a temporary stop notice includes causing or permitting the contravention of the notice. (3) An offence under this section may be charged by reference to a day or a longer period of time. (4) A person may be convicted of more than one such offence in relation to the same temporary stop notice by reference to different days or periods of time. (5) A person does not commit an offence under this section if he proves— (a) that the temporary stop notice was not served on him, and (b) that he did not know, and could not reasonably have been expected to know, of its existence. (6) A person convicted of an offence under this section is liable on summary conviction, or on conviction on indictment, to a fine. (7) In determining the amount of the fine the court must have regard in particular to any financial benefit which has accrued or has appeared to accrue to the person convicted in consequence of the offence.

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.
