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.

As published

90 Provision of information.

(1) Any person who is, or is alleged to be, liable in respect of an accident, injury or disease, or any person acting on his behalf, shall furnish the Department with the prescribed information relating to any person seeking compensation, or in respect of whom compensation is sought, in respect of that accident, injury or disease. (2) Any person who claims a relevant benefit or who has been in receipt of such a benefit or, if he has died, the personal representatives of such a person, shall furnish the Department with the prescribed information relating to any accident, injury or disease suffered by that person. (3) A person who makes any payment (whether a compensation payment or not) on behalf of himself or another— (a) in consequence of any accident, injury or disease suffered, or any damage to property sustained, by any other person, or (b) which is referable to any costs incurred by any such other person by reason of such an accident, injury, disease or damage, shall, if the Department so requests him in writing, furnish the Department with such particulars relating to the size and composition of the payment as may be specified in the request. (4) Any person— (a) who is the employer of a person who suffers or has suffered an accident, injury or disease, or (b) who has been the employer of such a person at any time during the relevant period, shall furnish the Department with the prescribed information relating to the payment of statutory sick pay in respect of that person. (5) In subsection (4) above “employer” has the same meaning as it has in Part XI of the Contributions and Benefits Act. (6) Any person furnishing information under this section shall do so in the prescribed manner, at the prescribed place and within the prescribed time.

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.
