Propose a change

Land Drainage Act 1991

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

6 Schemes and orders under sections 3 to 5: compensation for loss of office.

(1) The appropriate Minister shall by regulations provide for the payment, subject to such exceptions or conditions as may be specified in the regulations, of compensation— (a) if it is specified for the purpose in the regulations, by the appropriate supervisory body; or (b) by such internal drainage board or boards as may be so specified, to any officer or other employee of a drainage body who suffers loss of employment or loss or diminution of emoluments which is attributable to a scheme under section 3 above or anything done in pursuance of such a scheme. (2) The appropriate Minister shall by regulations provide for the payment, subject to such exceptions or conditions as may be specified in the regulations, of compensation by the appropriate supervisory body— (a) to any officer or other employee of an internal drainage board who suffers loss of employment or loss or diminution of emoluments which is attributable to an order under section 4 above or anything done in pursuance of such an order; (b) to any officer or other employee of the appropriate supervisory body who suffers loss of employment or loss or diminution of emoluments which is attributable to an order under section 5 above or anything done in pursuance of such an order. (3) Regulations under this section may include provision— (a) as to the manner in which and the persons to whom any claim for compensation by virtue of the regulations is to be made; and (b) for the determination of all questions arising under the regulations; and may make different provision for different classes of person. (4) In this section “the appropriate Minister”— (a) in relation to employees of a drainage body wholly in Wales, means the Secretary of State; (b) in relation to employees of a drainage body partly in Wales, means the Ministers; and (c) in any other case, means the Minister; but in relation to employees of the appropriate supervisory body, the powers and duties conferred or imposed on the appropriate Minister by this section shall be exercisable or, as the case may be, shall fall to be performed by either of the Ministers.

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.
