Propose a change

Chronically Sick and Disabled Persons (Northern Ireland) Act 1978

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

5 Provision of public sanitary conveniences.

(1) Where any district council undertakes the provision of a public sanitary convenience, it shall be the duty of the council, in doing so, to make provision, in so far as it is in the circumstances both practicable and reasonable, for the needs of disabled persons. (2) Any district council which in any public sanitary convenience provided by it makes or has made provision for the needs of disabled persons shall take such steps as may be reasonable, by sign-posts or similar notices, to indicate the whereabouts of the convenience.

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.
