Propose a change

School Standards and Framework Act 1998

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.

(2) Such a determination under section 88C may also, if the school is one at which boarding accommodation is provided for pupils, include— (a) a determination of the number of pupils in each relevant age group that it is intended to admit to the school in that year as boarders, and (b) a determination of the number of pupils in each relevant age group that it is intended to admit to the school in that year otherwise than as boarders. (3) Regulations may make provision about the making of any determination required by subsection (1), and may in particular require the admission authority for a maintained school to have regard, in making any such determination, to— (a) any prescribed method of calculation, and (b) any other prescribed matter. (4) References in this section to the determination of any number include references to the determination of zero as that number.

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.
