Propose a change

Greater London Authority Act 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.

What to do with it
As published

405 Power to amend Acts and subordinate legislation.

(1) Any Minister of the Crown may by order make such amendments, repeals or revocations as appear to him to be appropriate in consequence of this Act, or of any regulations or orders under this Act,— (a) in any enactment contained in an Act passed before the relevant day or in the Session in which that day falls; or (b) in any subordinate legislation (including subordinate legislation made under or by virtue of this Act) made before the relevant day or in the Session in which that day falls. (2) Any power of a Minister of the Crown by order or regulations under this Part to make incidental, consequential, transitional or supplementary provision shall include power for any incidental, consequential, transitional or supplementary purposes— (a) to apply with or without modifications, (b) to extend, exclude or amend, or (c) to repeal or revoke with or without savings, any such enactment, or any instrument made under any such enactment, as is mentioned in subsection (1) above or any charter, whenever granted. (3) The amendment by this Act of any provision is without prejudice to the exercise in relation to that provision of the powers conferred by this section. (4) For the purposes of this section “the relevant day” means the earliest day on which— (a) the Authority and the functional bodies are all in being, and (b) London Regional Transport and the Receiver for the Metropolitan Police District have ceased to exist, and any reference to an Act passed before that day includes a reference to this Act.

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.
