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.

Change 1

What to do with it
As published

37 Variation and revocation of establishment orders

(1) The appropriate national authority may by order under section 26 revoke a previous order under that section establishing a commons council only if it is satisfied that— (a) the council has ceased to operate; (b) the council is failing to discharge its functions in an effective manner; or (c) the council is, in discharging its functions, failing to have sufficient regard to the public interest as required by section 31. (2) An order under section 26 revoking a previous order under that section may include— (a) provision for the transfer of rights, property and liabilities of the commons council; (b) provision amending any enactment previously amended under section 36 in relation to the council. (3) Section 27 applies to an order under section 26 varying or revoking a previous order under that section as it applies to an order under that section establishing a commons council (but as if the references in section 27 to land specified in the order were to land affected by the variation or revocation).

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.
