Propose a change

Brine Pumping (Compensation for Subsidence) Act 1891 (repealed 8.11.1995)

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

25 Power to board to commute claims.

A board may, by resolution passed at a meeting whereof not less than twenty-one days’ notice specifying the objects of the meeting has been served on the members of the board, provide that the damage in any particular case, if in their opinion likely to recur or to be permanent or to continue for a number of years, shall be ascertained, settled, and paid for either once for all, or for such number of years as they think just, instead of being claimed from time to time.

Your change, as a redline

25 Power to board to commute claims.

A board may, by resolution passed at a meeting whereof not less than twenty-one days’ notice specifying the objects of the meeting has been served on the members of the board, provide that the damage in any particular case, if in their opinion likely to recur or to be permanent or to continue for a number of years, shall be ascertained, settled, and paid for either once for all, or for such number of years as they think just, instead of being claimed from time to time.

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.
