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.

Change 1

What to do with it
As published

6 Provisions for securing compliance with Act.

For securing compliance with the provisons of this Act, it shall be the duty of the . . . manager of every mine— (a) to make regulations for that purpose and publish such regulations by posting them and keeping them posted at the pit head, and by supplying a copy thereof gratis to every worker employed underground in the mine who, not having been previously supplied with a copy, applies therefor at the office at which he is paid; and (b) to provide necessary means for raising the workers from the mine within the time limited by 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.
