Propose a change

Offices, Shops and Railway Premises Act 1963

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 Exception for premises where only 21 manhours weekly normally worked.

(1) This Act shall not apply to any premises to which it would, apart from this subsection, apply, if the period of time worked there during each week does not normally exceed twenty-one hours. (2) For the purposes of this section the period of time worked in any premises shall be deemed to be— (a) as regards a week in which one person only is employed to work in the premises, the period of time worked by him there; (b) as regards a week in which two persons or more are so employed, the sum of the periods of time for which respectively those persons work there.

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.
