Propose a change

Chiropractors Act 1994

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

19 The Code of Practice.

(1) The General Council shall prepare and from time to time publish a Code of Practice— (a) laying down standards of conduct and practice expected of registered chiropractors; and (b) giving advice in relation to the practice of chiropractic. (2) It shall be the duty of the General Council to keep the Code under review and to vary its provisions whenever the Council considers it appropriate to do so. (3) Before issuing the Code or varying it, the General Council shall consult such representatives of practising chiropractors as it considers appropriate. (4) Where any person is alleged to have failed to comply with any provision of the Code, that failure— (a) shall not be taken, of itself, to constitute unacceptable professional conduct on his part; but (b) shall be taken into account in any proceedings against him under this Act. (5) Any person who asks the General Council for a copy of the Code shall be entitled to have one on payment of such reasonable fee as the Council may determine. (6) Subsection (5) is not to be taken as preventing the General Council from providing copies of the Code free of charge whenever it considers it appropriate.

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.
