Propose a change

Technical and Further Education Act 2017

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

11 Winding-up order

(1) This section applies if a person other than the appropriate national authority petitions for the winding up of a further education body. (2) The court is not to exercise its powers on a winding-up petition unless— (a) notice of the petition has been given to the appropriate national authority, and (b) a period of at least 14 days has elapsed since that notice was given. (3) If an education administration application is made in relation to the further education body before a winding-up order is made on the petition, the court may exercise its powers under sections 19 and 20 (instead of exercising its powers on the petition). (4) References in this section to the court's powers on a winding-up petition are to— (a) its powers under section 125 of the Insolvency Act 1986 (other than its power of adjournment), and (b) its powers under section 135 of the Insolvency Act 1986.

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.
