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Brine Pumping (Compensation for Subsidence) Act 1891 (repealed 8.11.1995)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

Change 1

What to do with it
As published

45 Powers of Local Government Board inspectors.

Inspectors of the Secretary of State shall for the purposes of any inquiry directed by the Secretary of State under this Act have in relation to witnesses and their examination, the production of papers and accounts, and the inspection of places and matters required to be inspected, similar powers to those which poor law inspectors have under the Acts relating to the relief of the poor for the purposes of those Acts, and the Secretary of State may make orders as to the cost of such inquiries as under the Local Government Act 1972, in the case of inquiries under that Act, and the cost of any provisional order issued by them, and as to the parties by whom or the rates out of which such costs shall be borne; and every such order may be made a rule of the Supreme Court on the application of any person named therein.

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.
