Propose a change

Severn Bridges Act 1992

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

12 Temporary suspension of tolls.

(1) Tolls may be suspended— (a) by the concessionaire for any period during which the power of the Secretary of State to levy tolls is exercisable by him, and (b) by the Secretary of State for any other period. (2) A suspension under this section may relate— (a) to all vehicles, (b) only to vehicles using the existing bridge or only to vehicles using the new bridge, or (c) (when there is in force an order under section 11(1) above providing for tolls to be leviable in respect of vehicles travelling from west to east as well as in respect of vehicles travelling from east to west) only to vehicles travelling in one direction.

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.
