Propose a change

Teachers (Superannuation) Act 1956

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.

Where, under section three of the Education (Scotland) (War Service Superannuation) Act 1939, contributions in respect of the whole or part of the period of war service of a person who was, or was deemed to be, a teacher are recoverable by the Secretary of State either directly from him or by deduction from any sum payable to him or to his personal representatives, and where the whole or any part of the said contributions have not been recovered before the commencement of this Act, it shall be lawful for the Secretary of State, on an application by the said person made within twelve months from the commencement of this Act or within such longer period as the Secretary of State may allow in any particular case, to direct that the unrecovered contributions and any interest due thereon shall not be recovered and to delete from the record of service of the said person the period of war service in respect of which the said contributions were payable, and the said person and his personal representatives shall thereupon cease to be liable for the said contributions and interest and shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Teachers Superannuation Scheme in respect of the said period of war service.

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.
