Propose a change

Employment Act 1989

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 Protection of Sikhs from racial discrimination in connection with requirements as to wearing of safety helmets.

(1) Where— (a) any person applies to a Sikh any provision, criterion or practice relating to the wearing by him of a safety helmet while he is at a workplace, and (b) at the time when he so applies the provision, criterion or practice that person has no reasonable grounds for believing that the Sikh would not wear a turban at all times when at such a workplace, then, for the purpose of determining whether the application of the provision, criterion or practice to the Sikh constitutes an act of discrimination falling within section 19 of the Equality Act 2010 (indirect discrimination), the provision, criterion or practice is to be taken as one in relation to which the condition in subsection (2)(d) of that section (proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim) is satisfied (2) Any special treatment afforded to a Sikh in consequence of section 11(1) or (2) above shall not be regarded for the purposes of section 13 of the Equality Act 2010 as giving rise to discrimination against any other person (3) Subsections (6A) to (10) of section 11 above shall apply for the purposes of this section as they apply for the purposes of that section.

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.
