Propose a change

New Forest Act 1949

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

11 Duty of Forestry Commissioners as to drainage of Forest and clearance of seedlings.

It shall be the duty of the Forestry Commissioners from time to time to carry out such work as appears to them after consultation with the verderers, and with due regard to the interests of amenity, reasonably necessary, or as the Minister may direct, for securing that the Forest will be properly drained, that culverts and bridges crossing drains or streams in the Forest (other than culverts or bridges which some other authority have power to maintain) will be properly maintained, and that the grazing will be kept sufficiently clear of coarse herbage, scrub and self-sown trees.

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.
