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.

Change 1

What to do with it
As published

31 Provisions as to the ascertainment of title and distribution of purchase money.

(1) Where the Commission for the purpose of the ascertainment of title to or distribution of purchase money require any searches to be made in the registry of deeds in Dublin, or in the registry of judgments in Dublin, the searches shall be made without charge to the persons entitled to the purchase money, and the costs thereof (if any) shall be borne as an expense of the Commission. (2) The Commission shall not for the purpose of an investigation of title to or distribution of purchase money require proof of payment of any estate duty, legacy duty, succession duty, settlement estate duty, probate duty, account duty, or temporary estate duty, if the event which gave rise to an immediate claim to such duty happened more than twelve years before the date of the investigation, without prejudice, however, to the liability of any accountable person to the payment of duty.

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.
