Propose a change

Banking (Special Provisions) Act 2008

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

14 Orders and regulations: retrospective provisions

(1) Subsections (2) and (3) apply to any order made under section 3, 4, 6 or 12 (a “relevant order”). (2) A relevant order may— (a) provide for any provision made by the order to have retrospective effect as from any appropriate time or any specified later time; (b) make provision for or in connection with, or in consequence of, nullifying the effect of transactions or events taking place after the time in question. (3) “Appropriate time”, in relation to a relevant order, means — (a) the specified time on the date of a statement published by the Treasury of their intention to make an order that would have the same general effect as the relevant order; (b) the specified time on the date on which any transfer was effected by or under a previous relevant order. (4) It is immaterial whether the statement mentioned in subsection (3)(a) is published before or after the passing of this Act. (5) Regulations under section 10 may provide for any of their provisions to have retrospective effect as from any time which is not earlier than 3 months before the day on which this Act is passed.

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.
