Propose a change

Crown Office Act 1877

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

3 Rules by Queen in Council as to language of documents to which Act applies.

Her Majesty may, by Order in Council, make, and when made from time to time revoke, add to, or alter rules— (1) Prescribing the form in which documents to which this Act applies, or any of them, are to be worded; and (2) Making regulations as to the publication of royal proclamations, and as to the towns to which copies of such proclamations are to be sent, and generally as to the best mode of making such proclamations known to the public: Provided that— (1) Acts of or Bills in Parliament may in all cases be cited by their short titles; and (2) Whenever convenient, the enumeration of Acts of or Bills in Parliament, of names of persons, or other matters, shall be contained in a schedule or schedules, and . . . (3) Any royal proclamation shall be valid in law if published as follows: As respects England, in the London Gazette; and As respects Scotland, in the Edinburgh Gazette; and As respects Ireland, in the Belfast Gazette Any rule purporting to be made in pursuance of this section shall be laid before both Houses of Parliament . . .

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.
