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.

Change 1

What to do with it
As published

26 Restrictions on voluntary winding up and insolvency proceedings.

(1) Where a company holds an appointment under Chapter I of this Part or is a qualifying water supply licensee or a qualifying sewerage licensee— (a) the company shall not be wound up voluntarily; (b) an administrator may not be appointed in relation to the company, whether by court order or otherwise, under Schedule B1 to the Insolvency Act 1986; (ba) any step taken by any person for the purported purpose of appointing an administrator of the company under Schedule B1 to the Insolvency Act 1986 has no legal effect; (c) no step shall be taken by any person to enforce any security over the company’s property except where that person has served fourteen days’ notice of his intention to take that step on the Secretary of State and on the Authority. (2) In this section “security” and “property” have the same meanings as in Parts I to VII of the Insolvency Act 1986.

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.
