Propose a change

Deregulation Act 2015

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

104 Power to spell out dates described in legislation

(1) A Minister of the Crown may by order made by statutory instrument— (a) replace a reference in legislation to the commencement of a provision with a reference to the actual date on which the provision comes into force; (b) replace a reference in legislation to the date on which any other event occurs with a reference to the actual date on which that event occurs. (2) An order under subsection (1) may amend the legislation to include an explanation of the date and may make other consequential amendments to legislation. (3) An order under this section may not amend subordinate legislation made by the Welsh Ministers or by the National Assembly for Wales constituted by the Government of Wales Act 1998. (4) An order under this section may not amend provision that would be within the legislative competence of the Scottish Parliament if it were contained in an Act of that Parliament. (5) An order under this section may not amend provision that would be within the legislative competence of the Northern Ireland Assembly if it were contained in an Act of that Assembly, unless— (a) a Bill for an Act of that Assembly containing the provision would require the consent of the Secretary of State under section 8 of the Northern Ireland Act 1998, and (b) the provision does not affect, other than incidentally, a transferred matter (within the meaning of that Act). (6) In this section— “Minister of the Crown” has the same meaning as in the Ministers of the Crown Act 1975; “legislation” means an Act or subordinate legislation; “subordinate legislation” has the same meaning as in the Interpretation Act 1978.

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.
