Propose a change

Northern Ireland Troubles (Legacy and Reconciliation) Act 2023

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

3 ICRIR officers

(1) The ICRIR may employ persons to be officers of the ICRIR. (2) The ICRIR may make arrangements for persons to be seconded to serve as officers of the ICRIR.

(4) In this Act “ICRIR officers” means— (a) the Commissioner for Investigations, (b) the persons employed under this section, and (c) the persons seconded under this section.

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.
