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.

What to do with it
As published

50 Approval in ballot

(1) BID proposals are not to be regarded as approved by a ballot held for the purposes of section 49(1) unless two conditions are satisfied. (2) The first condition is that a majority of the persons voting in the ballot have voted in favour of the BID proposals. (3) The second condition is that A exceeds B. (4) A is the aggregate of the rateable values of each hereditament in respect of which a person voting in the ballot has voted in favour of the BID proposals. (5) B is the aggregate of the rateable values of each hereditament in respect of which a person voting in the ballot has voted against the BID proposals. (6) For the purposes of subsections (4) and (5), the rateable value of a hereditament is — (a) in a case where the day of the ballot is a day on which paragraph 3 of Schedule 4ZA to the Local Government Finance Act 1988 applies in relation to the hereditament, the rateable value shown for that day under section 42(4) of that Act as regards the hereditament minus G (within the meaning of that Schedule), or (b) in any other case, the rateable value shown for that day under section 42(4) of that Act as regards the hereditament.

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.
