Propose a change

Anti-social Behaviour Act 2003

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.

As published

26C Applications under section 26A or 26B in county court proceedings

(1) Where a local authority or relevant housing provider (a “relevant authority”)— (a) is a party to proceedings in the county court , and (b) considers that a party to those proceedings is a person in relation to whom it would be reasonable for it to make an application for a parenting order under section 26A or 26B (a “parenting order application”), it may make such an application to that court in relation to that person. (2) Where— (a) a relevant authority considers that a party to proceedings in the county court is a person in relation to whom it would be reasonable for it to make a parenting order application, but (b) the relevant authority is not a party to those proceedings, it may apply to be joined to those proceedings to enable it to make a parenting order application. (3) Where— (a) there are proceedings in the county court to which a relevant authority is a party, and (b) the relevant authority considers that a child or young person has engaged in anti-social behaviour that is material in relation to the proceedings, the relevant authority may apply for a person who is a parent of the child or young person to be joined to the proceedings to enable it to make a parenting order application in relation to him. (4) A person must not be joined to proceedings in pursuance of subsection (3) unless the anti-social behaviour in question is material in relation to those proceedings.

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.
