Propose a change

Fair Employment (Northern Ireland) Act 1976 (repealed 1.3.1999)

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

22 Discrimination by persons providing training services.

(1) It shall be unlawful for a person who provides services in connection with the training of persons for employment in any capacity, or for a particular employment or occupation, in Northern Ireland to discriminate against another person— (a) where that other person is seeking to obtain those services or they are sought to be obtained on his behalf— (i) by refusing or deliberately omitting to provide those services, or (ii) in the terms on which the person offers to provide those services; or (b) where that other person is receiving those services— (i) in the way the person provides those sevices, or (ii) in the way he affords him access to benefits connected with the services or by refusing or deliberately omitting to afford him access to them, or (iii) by withdrawing those services from him or varying the terms on which they are provided, or (iv) by subjecting him to any other detriment. (2) In subsection (1) “services”, in relation to training for employment, means services provided otherwise than by the employer of the person who is seeking to obtain or is receiving the services.

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.
