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.

Change 1

What to do with it
As published

314 Obtaining and disposing of property

(1) References to a person disposing of his property include a reference— (a) to his disposing of a part of it, or (b) to his granting an interest in it, (or to both); and references to the property disposed of are to any property obtained on the disposal. (2) A person who makes a payment to another is to be treated as making a disposal of his property to the other, whatever form the payment takes. (3) Where a person’s property passes to another under a will or intestacy or by operation of law, it is to be treated as disposed of by him to the other. (4) A person is only to be treated as having obtained his property for value in a case where he gave unexecuted consideration if the consideration has become executed consideration.

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.
