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.

What to do with it
As published

37 Orders and regulations.

(1) Any power conferred by this Act to make an order or regulations shall be exercisable by statutory instrument. (2) A statutory instrument containing an order under subsection (5) of section 9 above which substitutes a higher amount for an amount which would otherwise be specified in the table in subsection (3) of that section shall not be made unless a draft of it has been laid before Parliament and approved by a resolution of each House. (3) A statutory instrument containing— (a) an order under section 8(4) or (5)(h), 10(4), 11(1) or 18(2)(b) above, (b) an order under section 9(5) above to which subsection (2) above does not apply, or (c) regulations under section 14, 21, 24, 25 or 31 above, shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament. (4) If it appears to the Secretary of State that at the time when an order under section 8(4) or (5)(h) or 11(1) above is to come into force the power to levy tolls will be exercisable by the concessionaire, the order shall not be made except with the concessionaire’s consent. (5) Regulations under this Act may make different provision for different cases or classes of case to which they apply.

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.
