(2) The old authority shall pay to the new authority, in connection with the provision of education for that pupil in that funding period , such amount, if any, as is payable in accordance with regulations. (3) Where a pupil is permanently excluded from any school maintained by a local authority and, in the funding period in which the exclusion first takes effect, the following events subsequently occur— (a) he is first provided by another local authority (“the intermediate authority”) with education in a pupil referral unit or otherwise than at school, and (b) at any time afterwards he is provided with education by a local authority other than the intermediate authority (“the last authority”), whether at a school maintained by that authority or otherwise than at school, then, in connection with the provision of the education mentioned in paragraph (b), subsection (2) shall apply to the intermediate authority and the last authority as if they were an old authority and a new authority respectively.

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.
