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.

Change 1

What to do with it
As published

92 Unincorporated associations

(1) Proceedings for a Part 1 offence alleged to have been committed by an unincorporated association are to be brought in the name of the association (and not in that of any of the members). (2) Rules of court relating to the service of documents have effect as if the unincorporated association were a body corporate. (3) In proceedings for a Part 1 offence brought against an unincorporated association, section 33 of the Criminal Justice Act 1925 (c. 86) and Schedule 3 to the Magistrates' Courts Act 1980 (c. 43) apply as they apply in relation to a body corporate. (4) A fine imposed on an unincorporated association on its conviction for a Part 1 offence is to be paid out of the funds of the association. (5) If a Part 1 offence committed by an unincorporated association is proved— (a) to have been committed with the consent or connivance of an officer of the association or a member of its governing body, or (b) to be attributable to any neglect on the part of such an officer or member, the officer or member (as well as the association) is guilty of the offence and liable to be proceeded against and punished accordingly.

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.
