Propose a change

Health and Social Care Act 2008

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

50 Failings by English local authorities

(1) This section applies where the Commission conducts a review under section 46 , 46A or 46B ..., or a review or investigation under section 48, in respect of an English local authority. (2) If the Commission considers that the local authority is failing to discharge any of its adult social services functions to an acceptable standard, then ... the Commission must— (a) inform the Secretary of State of that fact, and (b) recommend any special measures which it considers the Secretary of State should take. (3A) Nothing in subsection (2) prevents a report published under section 46(1)(c), 46A(1)(c), 46B(1)(c) or 48(4) from specifying respects in which the Commission considers a local authority to be failing and making recommendations to the local authority for addressing the failure. (5) If the Commission recommends that the Secretary of State should take special measures in relation to the local authority, the Commission must, if the Secretary of State so requests— (a) conduct a further review under section 48 in relation to the authority, and (b) include in its report under subsection (4) of that section a report on such matters as the Secretary of State may specify.

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.
