Propose a change

Disability Discrimination Act 1995

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

2 Past disabilities.

(1) The provisions of this Part and Parts II , III and VAand Part III of the 2005 Order apply in relation to a person who has had a disability as they apply in relation to a person who has that disability. (2) Those provisions are subject to the modifications made by Schedule 2. (3) Any regulations or order made under this Act or Part III of the 2005 Order may include provision with respect to persons who have had a disability. (4) In any proceedings under Part II , III or VA of this Act or Part III of the 2005 Order, the question whether a person had a disability at a particular time (“the relevant time”) shall be determined, for the purposes of this section, as if the provisions of, or made under, this Act or Part III of the 2005 Order in force when the act complained of was done had been in force at the relevant time. (5) The relevant time may be a time before the passing of this Act or (as the case may be) the making of the 2005 Order.

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.
