Propose a change

Commercial Rent (Coronavirus) Act 2022

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

7 Approval of arbitration bodies

(1) The Secretary of State may approve one or more bodies to carry out the functions under section 8 (and a body which is for the time being so approved is referred to in this Act as an “approved arbitration body”). (2) The Secretary of State may only approve a body which the Secretary of State considers to be suitable to carry out those functions. (3) The Secretary of State may withdraw an approval given under subsection (1) if the Secretary of State considers that the body is no longer suitable to carry out those functions. (4) Where the Secretary of State proposes to withdraw an approval given under subsection (1), the Secretary of State must notify the body in question and give the body an opportunity to make representations. (5) Where an approval given under subsection (1) is withdrawn from a body, the Secretary of State must make arrangements relating to— (a) the repayment of any fees or expenses already paid to the body (if any), and (b) the body’s entitlement (if any) to fees or expenses. (6) The withdrawal of an approval given under subsection (1) does not affect the validity of anything done by or in relation to the body in question before that withdrawal. (7) The Secretary of State must maintain and publish a list of approved arbitration bodies.

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.
