Propose a change

Northern Ireland Act 2000 (repealed)

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

7 Orders made under this Act: supplemental provision.

(1) Any power of the Secretary of State to make an order under this Act (“an order”) is exercisable by statutory instrument. (2) An order may make such consequential, supplemental or transitional provision as appears to the Secretary of State to be necessary or expedient. (3) An order under paragraph 12(4)(b) of the Schedule shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament. (4) Any other order (except one under section 9(2)) may not be made unless a draft of the order has been approved by a resolution of each House of Parliament. (5) Except in the case of an order made under paragraph 1(4) of the Schedule, subsection (4) does not apply if the order declares that the Secretary of State considers it expedient for the order to be made without that approval. (6) An order containing a declaration under subsection (5)— (a) must be laid before Parliament after being made; and (b) ceases to have effect if it is not approved by a resolution of each House of Parliament before the end of the period of 40 days beginning with the date on which it is made. (7) Subsection (6)(b) does not prejudice— (a) anything done as a result of the order before it ceased to have effect; or (b) the making of a new 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.
