Propose a change

Commons 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.

What to do with it
As published

29 Constitution

(1) The appropriate national authority must by regulations prescribe standard terms as to the constitution and administration of commons councils (in this Part, the “standard constitution”). (2) The terms of the standard constitution apply to every commons council, subject as follows. (3) An order under section 26 may also make provision as to the constitution and administration of a commons council. (4) Provision which may be made under subsection (3) includes in particular— (a) provision supplementary to any term of the standard constitution; (b) provision disapplying any such term; (c) provision replacing any such term. (5) Where in relation to a commons council— (a) provision is made under subsection (3) that is inconsistent with any term of the standard constitution, and (b) any such term has not been expressly disapplied under that subsection, the provision made under subsection (3) prevails, to the extent of the inconsistency, over the term of the standard constitution. (6) Terms of the standard constitution prescribed by regulations under subsection (1) may be amended by further regulations under that subsection; and this section applies in relation to such terms as amended as it applies in relation to the terms as first prescribed.

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.
