Propose a change

Gambling Act 2005

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

115 Forfeiture

(1) Where the holder of an operating licence is convicted of a relevant offence by or before a court in Great Britain the court may order forfeiture of the licence. (2) Forfeiture under this section shall be on such terms (which may include terms as to suspension) as may be specified by— (a) the court which orders forfeiture, (b) a court to which an appeal against the conviction, or against any order made on the conviction, has been or could be made, or (c) the High Court, if hearing proceedings relating to the conviction. (3) Subject to any express provision made under subsection (2), an operating licence shall cease to have effect on the making of a forfeiture order under subsection (1). (4) The terms on which a forfeiture order is made under this section shall, in particular, include a requirement that the licensee deliver to the Commission, within such time as the order may specify— (a) the licence, or (b) a statement explaining why it is not reasonably practicable to produce the licence. (5) As soon as is reasonably practicable after making an order for forfeiture under this section the court shall notify the Commission.

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.
