Propose a change

Social Security Administration (Northern Ireland) Act 1992

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

111 Issues arising in proceedings.

(1) This section applies to proceedings before a court— (a) for an offence under this Act or the Jobseekers (Northern Ireland) Order 1995; (b) involving any question as to the payment of contributions (other than a Class 4 contribution recoverable by the Inland Revenue); or (c) for the recovery of any sums due to the Department , or the Inland Revenue or the National Insurance Fund. (2) A decision of the Department which— (a) falls within Part II of Schedule 3 to the Social Security (Northern Ireland) Order 1998 (“the 1998 Order”); and (b) relates to or affects an issue arising in the proceedings, shall be conclusive for the purposes of the proceedings. (3) If— (a) any such decision is necessary for the determination of the proceedings; and (b) the decision of the Department has not been obtained or an application with respect to the decision has been made under Article 10 or 11 of the 1998 Order, the decision shall be referred to the Department to be made in accordance (subject to any necessary modifications) with Chapter II of PartII of thatOrder. (4) Subsection (2) above does not apply where, in relation to the decision— (a) an appeal has been brought but not determined; (b) an application for leave to appeal has been made but not determined; (c) an appeal has not been brought (or, as the case may be, an application for leave to appeal has not been made) but the time for doing so has not yet expired; or (d) an application has been made under Article 10 or 11 of the 1998 Order. (5) In a case falling within subsection (4) above the court shall adjourn the proceedings until such time as the final decision is known; and that decision shall be conclusive for the purposes of the proceedings.

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.
