Propose a change

Crown Lands Act 1936

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.

As published

7 Powers of Commissioners of Crown Lands as to highways

Section eleven of the Crown Lands Act, 1927 (which empowers the Commissioners of Crown Lands in certain circumstances to appropriate Crown land for streets and other purposes) shall have effect and be deemed always to have had effect as if the following two subsections were inserted immediately after subsection (1) thereof:— (1A) In regard to the dedication of any Crown land for the purposes of a public highway, the Commissioners of Crown Lands shall be in the same position as if they were absolute owners of the land. (1B) The Commissioners of Crown Lands shall have power— (a) to consent to the diversion of a highway over any Crown land under section eighty-five of the Highway Act, 1835; and (b) to consent to any such road as is mentioned in section thirty-six of the Highway Act, 1862, being declared a public highway; and any consent so given shall be as valid and effectual for all purposes as if made or given by an absolute owner of the land.

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.
