Propose a change

Infrastructure (Financial Assistance) Act 2012

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

(2) “Relevant period” means— (a) the period beginning with the day on which this Act is passed and ending with 31 March 2013, and (b) each subsequent period of 12 months. (3) Each report must provide details of— (a) the arrangements entered into by the Treasury or the Secretary of State during the relevant period for giving, or in connection with giving, infrastructure assistance, (b) the expenditure incurred by the Treasury or the Secretary of State during that period in giving, or in connection with giving, infrastructure assistance, (c) the amount of the actual or contingent liabilities of the Treasury or the Secretary of State at the end of that period in respect of infrastructure assistance, (d) the sums received during that period by the Treasury or the Secretary of State in connection with infrastructure assistance, and (e) the amount of the Government's expenditure and liabilities under this Act, determined as at the end of that period in accordance with section 2.

(5) No report is required in relation to a relevant period if there is nothing to record under subsections (3) and (4).

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.
