Propose a change

Private Security Industry Act 2001

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

12 Register of licences

(1) It shall be the duty of the Authority to establish and maintain a register of persons licensed under this Act. (2) The Authority shall secure that the register contains particulars of every person who for the time being holds a licence. (3) The particulars that must be recorded in every entry in the register relating to the holder of a licence are— (a) the name of the holder of the licence; (b) an address for the holder of the licence which satisfies the prescribed requirements; (c) the time when the licence will cease to have effect unless renewed; and (d) the terms and other conditions of his licence. (4) It shall be the duty of the Authority to ensure that such arrangements are in force as it considers appropriate for— (a) allowing members of the public and such other persons as it thinks fit to inspect the contents of the register; and (b) securing that such publicity is given to any modification or revocation of a licence as will bring it to the attention of persons likely to be interested in it. (5) The Authority may impose such fee as it considers reasonable for allowing a person to inspect the register or to take a copy of any part of it.

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.
