Propose a change

Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982

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

31 Appeals against notices.

(1) A person on whom a notice is served under section 29 or 30 above may appeal against the notice to the county court. (2) No such appeal may be brought after the expiry of the period of 21 days from the date on which the notice was served. (3) The ground of any such appeal may be— (a) that the works specified in the notice were not authorised by section 29 above; or (b) that they were unnecessary; or (c) that it was otherwise unreasonable for the local authority to undertake them. (4) If such an appeal is brought, the local authority— (a) shall cease from any works specified in the notice which they have commenced; and (b) shall not commence any further works so specified except as provided by subsection (7) below. (5) The court may make an order confirming or quashing the notice or varying it in such manner as it thinks fit. (6) An order under subsection (5) above may make such provision as to the recovery of expenses arising in connection with the works specified in the notice as the court thinks fit. (7) Upon the confirmation or variation of a notice the local authority may commence or recommence the works authorised by the notice as originally served or, as the case may be, as varied by the order of the court.

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.
