Propose a change

Insurance Brokers (Registration) Act 1977 (repealed)

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

6 Approval of educational institutions and qualifications.

(1) The Council may approve for the purposes of this Act any institution (hereinafter referred to as “an approved educational institution”) where the instruction given to persons being educated as insurance brokers appears to the Council to be such as to secure to them adequate knowledge and skill for the practice of their profession. (2) The Council may approve for the purposes of this Act any qualification (hereinafter referred to as “an approved qualification”) which appears to the Council to be granted to candidates who reach such a standard of proficiency at a qualifying examination as to secure to them adequate knowledge and skill for the practice of their profession. (3) Where the Council have refused to approve an institution or qualification under this section as suitable for any purpose, the Treasury, on representations being made to them within one month of the refusal, may, if they think fit, after considering the representations and after consulting the Council, order the Council to approve the institution or qualification as suitable for that purpose. (4) The Council shall publish before the day appointed for the coming into operation of section 3(1)(a) of this Act, and from time to time thereafter, a list of approved educational institutions and approved qualifications.

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.
