Propose a change

Local Government Finance Act 1992

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

52C Alternative notional amounts.

(1) The Welsh Ministers may make a report specifying in relation to— (a) any year under consideration (within the meaning of section 52B above), and (b) any authority, an amount which in their opinion should be used as the basis of any comparison in applying that section in place of the amount calculated by the authority as its budget requirement for a financial year falling before the year under consideration. (2) References in this section to the alternative notional amount are to the amount so specified. (3) A report under this section— (a) may relate to two or more authorities; (b) may be amended by a subsequent report under this section; (c) shall contain such explanation as the Welsh Ministers think desirable of the calculation by them of the alternative notional amount; (d) shall be laid before the National Assembly for Wales. (4) If a report under this section is approved by resolution of the National Assembly for Wales section 52B above shall have effect, as regards the year under consideration and any authority to which the report relates, as if the reference in subsection (4) to the amount calculated by the authority as its budget requirement for a financial year falling before the year under consideration were to the alternative notional amount for the year so falling.

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.
