Propose a change

Coal Mines Regulation Act 1908

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.

Your change, as a redline

5 Application to mines not entered by a shaft, &c.

In the application of this Act to mines which are entered otherwise than by a shaft, and to workers who are not lowered to or raised from the mine by means of machinery, the admission of workers to the mine shall be substituted for the lowering of workers to the mine, and the return of workers from the mine shall be substituted for the raising of workers from the mine, and such times as may be determined by the . . . manager of the mine, with the approval of the inspector, as the times properly corresponding to the times fixed for the commencement and completion of the lowering and raising of workers to and from the mine, shall be substituted for the times so fixed.

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.
