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Brine Pumping (Compensation for Subsidence) Act 1891 (repealed 8.11.1995)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

3 Application for order for formation of district.

Any owner or owners of land in any county of a rateable value in the aggregate of not less than two thousand pounds, and any sanitary authority in any county, may apply to the Secretary of State by memorial, alleging that subsidence of land belonging to such owner or owners, or situate within the district of such authority, is caused by brine pumping operations, whereby loss or damage is occasioned, and praying that a compensation district may be formed under this Act, with such boundaries as shall be described in the memorial, or such other boundaries as the Secretary of State shall fix.

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.
