Propose a change

Water Industry Act 1991

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

134 Compensation in respect of determinations made for the protection of public health etc.

(1) Subject to subsection (2) below, the appropriate agency shall be liable to pay compensation to the relevant person in respect of any loss or damage sustained by that person as a result of any notice under section 132 above containing the appropriate agency's determination on a review which— (a) has been carried out for the protection of public health or of flora and fauna dependent on an aquatic environment; and (b) but for being so carried out would have been prohibited by virtue of section 127(2) or 131(2) above. (2) The appropriate agency shall not be required to pay any compensation under this section if the determination in question is shown to have been given in consequence of— (a) a change of circumstances which could not reasonably have been foreseen at the time when the period of two years mentioned in section 127(2) or, as the case may be, section 131(2) above began to run; or (b) consideration by the appropriate agency of material information which was not reasonably available to the appropriate agency at that time. (3) No person shall be entitled to any compensation under section 125 above in respect of anything done in pursuance of section 133 above. (4) In this section “the relevant person”, in relation to a review, means the owner or the occupier of the trade premises in question, according to whether it is the owner or the occupier who makes the discharges to which the review relates or, as the case may be, is a party to the agreement to which it relates.

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.
