What to do with it
As published

6A Registration: provision relating to specified state professionals

(1) Where a specified state professional makes an application for full registration, the Registrar must— (a) within the period of one month beginning with the date of receipt of the application— (i) acknowledge receipt of the application; and (ii) inform the person of any missing document required for the purposes of the application; (b) give the person adequate time to complete the requirements and procedures of the application process; (c) ensure that the documentary and other evidence which is to accompany applications for registration is no more than is necessary to demonstrate to the Registrar that the person satisfies the conditions in section 3(2); (d) accept certified copies of documents in place of original documents, unless it requires original documents to protect the integrity of the application process; and (e) deal promptly with the person’s application and notify the person of the result of the application within the period of four months beginning with the relevant date. (2) For the purposes of subsection (1)(d), a certified copy of a document is one which is certified to be a true copy of the original by a solicitor practising in any part of the United Kingdom. (3) In subsection (1)(e), “the relevant date”, in relation to an application, is— (a) the date when the Registrar receives the application; or (b) if any document required for the purposes of the application is missing when the Registrar receives the application, the date on which the Registrar first has all the documents required for those purposes. (4) If the Registrar makes a request for further evidence, information or documents from such a specified state professional, the period beginning with the date on which the Registrar makes that request and ending with the date on which the person complies with that request is to be disregarded in determining whether the period of four months referred to in subsection (1)(e) has expired.

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.
