Propose a change

Welfare Reform Act 2007

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

19 Pilot schemes

(1) Any regulations to which this subsection applies may be made so as to have effect for a specified period not exceeding 36 months. (2) Subject to subsection (3), subsection (1) applies to— (a) regulations which are made under any provision of this Part, other than sections 3, 8 and 9; (b) regulations which are made under the Administration Act, so far as they relate to an employment and support allowance. (3) Subsection (1) only applies to regulations if they are made with a view to ascertaining whether their provisions will or will be likely to— (a) encourage persons to obtain or remain in work, or (b) make it more likely that persons will obtain or remain in work or be able to do so. (4) Regulations which, by virtue of subsection (1), are to have effect for a limited period are referred to in this section as a “pilot scheme”. (5) A pilot scheme may provide that its provisions are to apply only in relation to— (a) one or more specified areas; (b) one or more specified classes of person; (c) persons selected— (i) by reference to prescribed criteria, or (ii) on a sampling basis. (6) A pilot scheme may make consequential or transitional provision with respect to the cessation of the scheme on the expiry of the specified period. (7) A pilot scheme may be replaced by a further pilot scheme making the same or similar provision.

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.
