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

222 Hearing of objections

(1) This section applies where— (a) a temporary use notice is given to a licensing authority in accordance with section 219, and (b) a notice of objection is given in accordance with section 221. (2) The licensing authority shall hold a hearing at which any of the following may make representations about the notice of objection— (a) the person who gave the temporary use notice, (b) the person who gave the notice of objection, and (c) any other person who was entitled to receive a copy of the temporary use notice in accordance with section 219. (3) But the licensing authority need not arrange a hearing if the authority and each person who would be entitled to make representations agree in writing that a hearing is unnecessary.

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.
