Propose a change

Local Government Act 1999

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.

Change 1

What to do with it
As published

18 Contracting out.

(1) Section 70 of the Deregulation and Contracting Out Act 1994 (contracting out functions of local authorities) shall apply in relation to functions of any relevant best value authority (other than excluded functions within the meaning of section 71) as it applies in relation to certain functions of local authorities. (2) An order under section 70 as applied by subsection (1) above may be made only— (a) by the Secretary of State, and (b) if he considers the order necessary or expedient for the purpose of permitting or facilitating compliance with the requirements of this Part. (3) In this section “relevant best value authority” means a best value authority which is not a local authority for the purposes of section 70 of the Deregulation and Contracting Out Act 1994.

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.
