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.

Change 1

What to do with it
As published

2E Action plans in connection with work-focused interviews

(1) The Department must in prescribed circumstances provide a document (referred to in this section as an “action plan”) prepared for such purposes as may be prescribed to a person who is subject to a requirement imposed under section 2A or 2AA in relation to any of the following benefits. (2) The benefits are— (a) income support; (b) an income-based jobseeker's allowance other than a joint-claim jobseeker's allowance; and (c) an income-related employment and support allowance. (3) Regulations may make provision about— (a) the form of action plans; (b) the content of action plans; (c) the review and updating of action plans. (4) Regulations under this section may, in particular, make provision for action plans which are provided to a person who is subject under section 2D to a requirement to undertake work-related activity to contain particulars of activity which, if undertaken, would enable the requirement to be met. (5) Regulations may make provision for reconsideration of an action plan at the request of the person to whom it is provided and may, in particular, make provision about (a) the circumstances in which reconsideration may be requested; (b) the period within which any reconsideration must take place; (c) the matters to which regard must be had when deciding on reconsideration whether the plan should be changed; (d) notification of the decision on reconsideration; (e) the giving of directions for the purpose of giving effect to the decision on reconsideration. (6) In preparing any action plan, the Department must have regard (so far as practicable) to its impact on the well-being of any person under the age of 16 who may be affected by it.

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.
