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

21F Discrimination by private clubs etc.

(1) This section applies to any association of persons (however described, whether corporate or unincorporate, and whether or not its activities are carried on for profit) if— (a) it has twenty-five or more members; (b) admission to membership is regulated by its constitution and is so conducted that the members do not constitute a section of the public within the meaning of section 19(2); and (c) it is not an organisation to which section 13 applies. (2) It is unlawful for an association to which this section applies, in the case of a disabled person who is not a member of the association, to discriminate against him— (a) in the terms on which it is prepared to admit him to membership; or (b) by refusing or deliberately omitting to accept his application for membership. (3) It is unlawful for an association to which this section applies, in the case of a disabled person who is a member, or associate, of the association, to discriminate against him— (a) in the way it affords him access to a benefit, facility or service; (b) by refusing or deliberately omitting to afford him access to a benefit, facility or service; (c) in the case of a member— (i) by depriving him of membership, or (ii) by varying the terms on which he is a member; (d) in the case of an associate— (i) by depriving him of his rights as an associate, or (ii) by varying those rights; or (e) in either case, by subjecting him to any other detriment. (4) It is unlawful for an association to which this section applies to discriminate against a disabled person— (a) in the way it affords him access to a benefit, facility or service, (b) by refusing or deliberately omitting to afford him access to a benefit, facility or service, or (c) by subjecting him to any other detriment, in his capacity as a guest of the association. (5) It is unlawful for an association to which this section applies to discriminate against a disabled person— (a) in the terms on which it is prepared to invite him, or permit a member or associate to invite him, to be a guest of the association; (b) by refusing or deliberately omitting to invite him to be a guest of the association; or (c) by not permitting a member or associate to invite him to be a guest of the association. (6) It is unlawful for an association to which this section applies to discriminate against a disabled person in failing in prescribed circumstances to comply with a duty imposed on it under section 21H. (7) In the case of an act which constitutes discrimination by virtue of section 55, this section also applies to discrimination against a person who is not disabled.

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.

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.
