Propose a change

Local Government Act 1974

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

34C Who can complain

(1) A complaint about a matter under this Part may only be made— (a) by a member of the public who claims to have sustained injustice in consequence of the matter (“P”), (b) by a person authorised in writing by P to act on P's behalf, or (c) in accordance with subsection (2). (2) Where a member of the public by whom a complaint about a matter might have been made under this Part (“D”) has died or is otherwise unable to authorise a person to act on D's behalf, the complaint may be made— (a) by D's personal representatives (if any), or (b) by a person who appears to a Local Commissioner to be suitable to represent D.

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.
