Propose a change

Equality Act 2010

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

205 Crown application

(1) The following provisions of this Act bind the Crown— (a) Part 1 (public sector duty regarding socio-economic inequalities); (b) Part 3 (services and public functions), so far as relating to the exercise of public functions; (c) Chapter 1 of Part 11 (public sector equality duty). (2) Part 5 (work) binds the Crown as provided for by that Part. (3) The remainder of this Act applies to Crown acts as it applies to acts done by a private person. (4) For the purposes of subsection (3), an act is a Crown act if (and only if) it is done— (a) by or on behalf of a member of the executive, (b) by a statutory body acting on behalf of the Crown, or (c) by or on behalf of the holder of a statutory office acting on behalf of the Crown. (5) A statutory body or office is a body or office established by an enactment. (6) The provisions of Parts 2 to 4 of the Crown Proceedings Act 1947 apply to proceedings against the Crown under this Act as they apply to proceedings in England and Wales which, as a result of section 23 of that Act, are treated for the purposes of Part 2 of that Act as civil proceedings by or against the Crown. (7) The provisions of Part 5 of that Act apply to proceedings against the Crown under this Act as they apply to proceedings in Scotland which, as a result of that Part, are treated as civil proceedings by or against the Crown. (8) But the proviso to section 44 of that Act (removal of proceedings from the sheriff to the Court of Session) does not apply to proceedings under this Act.

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.
