Propose a change

Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006

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

23 Discrimination: code of practice

(1) The Secretary of State shall issue a code of practice specifying what an employer should or should not do in order to ensure that, while avoiding liability to a penalty under section 15 and while avoiding the commission of an offence under section 21, he also avoids contravening— (a) the Equality Act 2010, so far as relating to race, or (b) the Race Relations (Northern Ireland) Order 1997 (S.I. 869 (N.I. 6)). (2) Before issuing the code the Secretary of State shall— (a) consult— (i) the Commission for Equality and Human Rights, (ii) the Equality Commission for Northern Ireland, (iii) such bodies representing employers as he thinks appropriate, and (iv) such bodies representing workers as he thinks appropriate, (b) publish a draft code (after that consultation), (c) consider any representations made about the published draft, and (d) lay a draft code before Parliament (after considering representations under paragraph (c) and with or without modifications to reflect the representations). (3) The code shall come into force in accordance with provision made by order of the Secretary of State; and an order— (a) may include transitional provision, (b) shall be made by statutory instrument, and (c) shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament. (4) A breach of the code— (a) shall not make a person liable to civil or criminal proceedings, but (b) may be taken into account by a court or tribunal. (5) The Secretary of State shall from time to time review the code and may revise and re-issue it following a review; and a reference in this section to the code includes a reference to the code as revised. (6) Until the dissolution of the Commission for Racial Equality, the reference in subsection (2)(a)(i) to the Commission for Equality and Human Rights shall be treated as a reference to the Commission for Racial Equality.

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.
