The Abuse Redress Rules 2026

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

9 Request for further material

(1) A request under section 10(2)(b) of the Measure by the redress body for further material on an application for redress under section 3— (a) must be in writing (even if an oral request for that material has already been made), and (b) must specify the period within which the redress body wishes the material to be provided to it. (2) If the material requested is not provided to the redress body within the period specified under paragraph (1)(b), the redress body must send a written notice to the person from whom the material is requested requiring the material to be provided to the redress body within the period specified in the notice. (3) If the material requested is not provided before the end of the period specified under paragraph (2), the redress body may pause the determination of the application; and, if the redress body does so, it must specify the time at which or circumstances in which the determination of the application is to be resumed. (4) If the material requested is not provided before the end of the period specified under paragraph (2) and, where the determination of the application is paused under paragraph (3), not provided before the end of the period of the pause, and the redress body is satisfied that it cannot determine the application without that material, the application is to be treated as withdrawn under rule 8.

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.
