Local Authorities (Land) Act 1963

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

9 Power to amend local Acts.

(1) The Minister may, subject to the provisions of this section, by order repeal or amend any provision— (a) in any local Act passed before this Act, or in any Act passed before this Act and confirming a provisional order, or (b) in any order made under an Act before the passing of this Act, where it appears to him that the provision is inconsistent with, or has become unnecessary in consequence of, any provision of this Act. (2) The Minister shall not make an order under this section repealing or amending any provision in any local Act the Bill for which was promoted by a local authority, or by any authority, board, commissioners, trustees or other body whose functions under the local Act have become exercisable by a local authority, except on the application of that local authority. (3) Before making an order under this section the Minister shall consult with any local authority appearing to him to be concerned, not being a local authority by whom an application for the making of the order was made. (4) An order made under this section— (a) may contain such transitional, supplemental or incidental provisions as appear to the Minister to be expedient, and (b) shall be made by statutory instrument which shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament.

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.
