Propose a change

Data Protection Act 2018

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

192 Approval of the Framework

(1) Before issuing a document prepared under section 191, the Secretary of State must lay it before Parliament. (2) If, within the 40-day period, either House of Parliament resolves not to approve the document, the Secretary of State must not issue it. (3) If no such resolution is made within that period— (a) the Secretary of State must issue the document, and (b) the document comes into force at the end of the period of 21 days beginning with the day on which it is issued. (4) Nothing in subsection (2) prevents another version of the document being laid before Parliament. (5) In this section, “the 40-day period” means— (a) if the document is laid before both Houses of Parliament on the same day, the period of 40 days beginning with that day, or (b) if the document is laid before the Houses of Parliament on different days, the period of 40 days beginning with the later of those days. (6) In calculating the 40-day period, no account is to be taken of any whole days that fall within a period during which Parliament is dissolved or prorogued or during which both Houses of Parliament are adjourned for more than 4 days. (7) This section applies in relation to amendments prepared under section 191 as it applies in relation to a document prepared under that 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.
