Propose a change

Irish Land Act 1903

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

46 Redemption of purchase annuities

(1) Every purchase annuity under this Act, or any part thereof at any time outstanding, may be redeemed in whole or in part by the person liable to pay that annuity by payment to the Land Commission of the difference between the accumulated sinking fund and the sum sufficient (after payment of interest to date) to purchase the requisite amount of stock, such amount to be determined in accordance with rules made by the Treasury. (2) Where a purchase annuity or any part thereof is redeemed the National Debt Commissioners shall, in manner prescribed by the Treasury, cancel the aforesaid amount of the stock. (3) Any rules under this section shall, as soon as may be after they are made, be laid before both Houses of 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.
