Propose a change

Tithe Act 1878 (repealed 19.11.1998)

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

3 Redemption of tithe not exceeding twenty shillings.

Whenever land has been charged with any rentcharge not exceeding twenty shillings, the Commissioners may, if they see fit, upon the application of the owner of such land or of the person entitled to the rentcharge thereon, by an order under their hands and seal, direct that such rentcharge shall be redeemed by the payment by or on behalf of the owner of the said land charged therewith, within such time as the Commissioners by such order shall direct and appoint, of a sum of money equal to twenty-five times the amount of such rentcharge.

Your change, as a redline

3 Redemption of tithe not exceeding twenty shillings.

Whenever land has been charged with any rentcharge not exceeding twenty shillings, the Commissioners may, if they see fit, upon the application of the owner of such land or of the person entitled to the rentcharge thereon, by an order under their hands and seal, direct that such rentcharge shall be redeemed by the payment by or on behalf of the owner of the said land charged therewith, within such time as the Commissioners by such order shall direct and appoint, of a sum of money equal to twenty-five times the amount of such rentcharge.

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.
