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

244 Linked machines

(1) A person commits an offence if— (a) he makes a gaming machine (“the first gaming machine”) available for use by another, and (b) the amount or value of a prize available through use of the first gaming machine is or may be wholly or partly determined by reference to use made of another gaming machine (“the linked gaming machine”). (2) But subsection (1) does not apply where— (a) the person who makes the first gaming machine available for use is the holder of a casino premises licence, and (b) the first gaming machine and the linked gaming machine are situated on the same premises. (3) The Secretary of State may by order amend, or modify the effect of, subsection (2) so that subsection (1) is disapplied to the linking of machines in casinos whether or not the machines are situated on the same premises— (a) to such extent as the order may specify, (b) in such circumstances as the order may specify, and (c) subject to such conditions as the order may specify.

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.
