Propose a change

Marine Insurance Act 1906

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

46 Deviation.

(1) Where a ship, without lawful excuse, deviates from the voyage contemplated by the policy, the insurer is discharged from liability as from the time of deviation, and it is immaterial that the ship may have regained her route before any loss occurs. (2) There is a deviation from the voyage contemplated by the policy— (a) Where the course of the voyage is specifically designated by the policy, and that course is departed from; or (b) Where the course of the voyage is not specifically designated by the policy, but the usual and customary course is departed from. (3) The intention to deviate is immaterial; there must be a deviation in fact to discharge the insurer from his liability under the contract.

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.
