Propose a change

Proceeds of Crime Act 2002

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

162 Interest on unpaid sums

(1) If any amount required to be paid by a person under a confiscation order is not paid when it is required to be paid, he must pay interest on that amount for the period for which it remains unpaid. (2) The rate of interest is the same rate as that for the time being applying to a money judgment of the High Court. (3) If— (a) an application has been made under section 161(4) for a specified period to be extended, (b) the application has not been determined by the court, and (c) the period of six months starting with the day on which the confiscation order was made has not ended, the amount on which interest is payable under this section does not include the amount to which the specified period relates. (4) In applying this Part the amount of the interest must be treated as part of the amount to be paid under the confiscation order.

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.
