Propose a change

Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act 2006

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.

84 Agreements with local authorities

(1) This section applies where a local authority is authorised under an agreement to perform a function. (2) Subject to subsection (5), the function that the local authority is authorised to perform is to be treated as a function of the local authority for the purposes of— (a) any power of a local authority to arrange for the discharge of the function by any person mentioned in subsection (3), and (b) any power of a person mentioned in subsection (3) to arrange for the discharge of a function by any other person mentioned there. (3) The persons are any committee, sub-committee, member, officer or employee of the local authority. (4) “Committee” does not include a joint committee of two or more local authorities. (5) If the local authority is operating executive arrangements— (a) the function is to be treated as a function of the local authority for the purposes of section 13 of the Local Government Act 2000 (c. 22), and (b) if (or to the extent that) the function is the responsibility of the executive of the local authority— (i) subsection (2) does not apply, and (ii) sections 14 to 16 of the 2000 Act, and any regulations made under sections 17 and 18 of the 2000 Act, apply. (6) “Executive arrangements” and “executive” have the same meaning as in Part 2 of the 2000 Act. (7) An agreement may provide that the provisions of subsection (2) or those mentioned in subsection (5)(b)(ii) do not apply (or do not apply to a specified extent).

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.
