Propose a change

Traffic Management Act 2004

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

82 Enforcement of penalty charges

(1) The Lord Chancellor may make regulations for or in connection with the enforcement of penalty charges. (2) The regulations may include provision— (a) creating criminal offences to be triable summarily and punishable with a fine not exceeding level 5 on the standard scale or such lower amount as may be specified; (b) for amounts payable under or by virtue of any provision of this Part to be recoverable, if the county court so orders, as if they were payable under a county court order. An amount to which paragraph (b) applies that is so recoverable is referred to below as a “traffic contravention debt”. (3) The Lord Chancellor may by order make provision— (a) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (b) as to the requirements that must be satisfied before a person takes any other step of a kind specified in the order, with a view to enforcing the payment of— (i) a traffic contravention debt, or (ii) such class or classes of traffic contravention debts as may be so specified. (4) Any such order may make such incidental and supplementary provision (including modifications of any enactment other than this Act) as the Lord Chancellor considers appropriate in consequence of the provision made by the order. (5) Any order in force immediately before the commencement of this Part under section 78(2) of the Road Traffic Act 1991 (c. 40) shall have effect after that commencement as if made under the corresponding provisions of this section and shall apply in relation to the enforcement of any traffic contravention debt.

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.
