Propose a change

Fire and Rescue Services 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.

Change 1

What to do with it
As published

16 Arrangements for discharge of functions by others

(1) A fire and rescue authority (the first authority) may enter into arrangements with— (a) another fire and rescue authority, or (b) any other person, for the discharge to any extent by that other authority or person of a function conferred on the first authority under any of sections 6 to 9 and 11. (2) But a fire and rescue authority may enter into arrangements with a person under subsection (1) in relation to its function of extinguishing fires only if the person employs fire-fighters. (3) Arrangements under this section may include provision as to the terms on which any function is to be discharged (including provision as to payment).

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.
