Propose a change

Local Government Act 2003

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

12C Restriction of power to give risk-mitigation directions

(1) If, after the power to give risk-mitigation directions becomes exercisable under section 12A(1) in relation to a local authority— (a) at least 12 months have elapsed since the Secretary of State last became aware of a trigger event having occurred in relation to the authority, (b) any risk-mitigation direction given to the authority has been complied with or revoked, and (c) the Secretary of State is satisfied no further risk-mitigation direction is likely to be required in the foreseeable future for the purpose of reducing or mitigating the financial risk to the authority, the Secretary of State must give the local authority a notice to that effect (“a cessation notice”). (2) Where a cessation notice is given, the power conferred by section 12A(1) is no longer exercisable, in relation to that authority, by reason of any trigger event of which the Secretary of State was aware at the time that notice was given. (3) In this section “risk-mitigation direction”, “trigger event” and “financial risk” have the same meaning as in section 12A.

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.
