Propose a change

Northern Ireland Land Act 1925

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

12 Provisions as to resale of holdings vested in the Commission.

(1) The Commission shall take steps to secure that every holding vested in them by virtue of this Part of this Act shall be vested in the tenant thereof as soon as possible after the appointed day, and for that purpose the tenant of each such holding shall be deemed on the appointed day to have entered into a new purchase agreement for the purchase of the holding from the Commission at the standard price, and the interest on the purchase money payable under section thirty-five of the Land Law (Ireland) Act 1896, shall be at the rate of four and three-quarters per cent. per annum, and shall be payable as from the gale day last preceding the appointed day on such date or dates as may be prescribed by rules under Part I of this Act. Provision shall be made out of such interest payments towards the sinking fund in respect of the advance to the tenant. (2)(3) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

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.
