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.

Change 1

What to do with it
As published

130 Application

(1) A direction under section 69(2)(c) or (f) (as applied by section 128) may, in particular, require that an application— (a) be signed by the applicant's employer; (b) contain or be accompanied by information provided by the applicant's employer or relating to his employment. (2) The Commission may under section 73(1)(a) (as applied by section 128) require an applicant to obtain information from his employer. (3) For the purposes of this section a reference to an applicant's employer is a reference to any person for whom the applicant, in the course of a business (but whether or not under a contract of employment)— (a) provides services, (b) has provided services, or (c) intends to provide services. (4) Neither this section nor any other provision of this Act shall be treated as preventing a person who is not employed from applying for a personal licence.

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.
