Propose a change

Gas Levy Act 1981 (repealed)

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

4 Levy where gas is stored in natural reservoirs.

(1) Where a natural reservoir from which there derives gas to which section 1 above applies is used for the storage of gas produced elsewhere which is acquired by any person, gas levy shall be payable by that person for any year only on the amount by which the number of therms represented by the gas supplied to that person from that reservoir during the year exceeds the number of therms represented by the gas put into the reservoir during the year. (2) If in any year the number of therms represented by the gas put into such a reservoir has exceeded the number of therms represented by the gas supplied to the person concerned from the reservoir, the amount of the excess shall be carried forward and, for the purpose of computing gas levy for a subsequent year, may be set off against the number of therms represented by the gas supplied to that person from the reservoir in that year.

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.
