Propose a change

Health Service Commissioners Act 1993

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

13 Obstruction and contempt.

(1) The Commissioner may certify an offence to the Court where— (a) a person without lawful excuse obstructs him or any of his officers in the performance of his functions, or (b) a person is guilty of any act or omission in relation to an investigation which, if that investigation were a proceeding in the Court, would constitute contempt of court. (2) Where an offence is so certified the Court may inquire into the matter and after hearing— (a) any witnesses who may be produced against or on behalf of the person charged with the offence, and (b) any statement that may be offered in defence, the Court may deal with the person charged with the offence in any manner in which it could deal with him if he had committed the like offence in relation to the Court. (3) Nothing in this section shall be construed as applying to the taking of any such action as is mentioned in section 11(5).

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.
