Propose a change

Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996

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

68 Variation of group repair scheme.

(1) A group repair scheme may be varied at any time before the completion date. The variation may relate to the participants in the scheme, the buildings to which the scheme relates, the scheme works or any other matter. (2) A variation is not effective unless approved by the Secretary of State. The provisions of section 63(2) to (4) (supplementary provisions as to approval of scheme) apply to approval of a variation. (3) Where a scheme is varied to enable other persons to participate, section 64 (persons eligible to participate) applies in relation to new participants with the substitution for the reference to the date of approval of the scheme of a reference to the date of approval of the variation. In the case of a variation not submitted for specific approval, the date of approval shall be taken to be the date on which the authority decide that the variation fulfils the criteria for general approval. (4) Before varying a group repair scheme the local housing authority shall consult the existing participants and consider any representations made by them. (5) Fresh scheme consent is required in the case of an existing participant as to whom the authority are satisfied that his interests are adversely affected by the variation. In any other case the existing scheme consent shall be treated as extended to the scheme as varied.

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.

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.
