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

279 Section 278: supplementary

(1) Subsections (2) and (3) give examples of the satisfaction of the enforcement authority’s right to recover the original property. (2) If— (a) there is a disposal, other than a part disposal, of the original property, and (b) other property (the representative property) is obtained in its place, the enforcement authority’s right to recover the original property is satisfied by the making of a recovery order in respect of either the original property or the representative property. (3) If— (a) there is a part disposal of the original property, and (b) other property (the representative property) is obtained in place of the property disposed of, the enforcement authority’s right to recover the original property is satisfied by the making of a recovery order in respect of the remainder of the original property together with either the representative property or the property disposed of. (4) In this section— (a) a part disposal means a disposal to which section 314(1) applies, (b) the original property has the same meaning as in section 278.

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.
