Propose a change

Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015

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.

As published

35 Chapter 1: interpretation

(1) This section applies for the purposes of this Chapter. (2) “Function” does not include a function so far as it is exercised outside Great Britain. (3) “Terrorism” has the same meaning as in the Terrorism Act 2000 (see section 1(1) to (4) of that Act). (4) “Devolved Welsh authority” has the same meaning as in the Government of Wales Act 2006 (see section 157A of that Act). (5) A function is a “devolved Welsh function” if— (a) it relates to a matter in respect of which functions are exercisable by the Welsh Ministers, the First Minister for Wales or the Counsel General to the Welsh Government, or (b) provision conferring the function would be within the legislative competence of the National Assembly for Wales. (6) “Scottish authority” means a person or body that has any devolved Scottish function. (7) A function is a “devolved Scottish function” if— (a) it is exercisable in or as regards Scotland, and (b) it does not relate to reserved matters (within the meaning of the Scotland Act 1998).

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.
