Propose a change

Land Powers (Defence) Act 1958

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.

FOURTH SCHEDULE Supplementary provisions as to exercise of certain powers

Sections 9, 10, 15, 16, 21. 1 A person entering on any land in the exercise of powers in relation to which this paragraph applies shall, if so required, produce written evidence of his authority before so entering, and shall not demand admission as of right unless not less than seven days’ notice in writing of the intended entry has been given to the occupier. 2 Any person who wilfully obstructs a person acting in the exercise of any powers in relation to which this paragraph applies shall be liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 1 on the standard scale. 3 Any person who, in consequence of the exercise of any power in relation to which this paragraph applies, suffers loss by reason of damage to, or is disturbed in the enjoyment of, any land or chattels shall be entitled to compensation in respect of that damage or disturbance from the Minister or local authority on whose behalf the power is exercised: and any dispute as to a right to compensation under this paragraph, or as to the amount of any such compensation, shall be determined by the appropriate tribunal. 4 Any power to survey land included in powers in relation to which this paragraph applies shall be construed as including power to search and bore for the purpose of ascertaining the nature of the subsoil: Provided that, in relation to the exercise of the power to search and bore, paragraph 1 of this Schedule shall have effect as if for the reference to seven days’ notice there were substituted a reference to twenty-eight days’ notice.

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.

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.
