Propose a change

Town and Country Planning Act 1962

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

55 Supplementary provisions as to notices under s.52

(1) Any expenses incurred by the owner or occupier of a building for the purpose of complying with a notice under section fifty-two of this Act, and any sums paid by the owner of a building under the last preceding section in respect of expenses incurred by the local planning authority in taking steps required to be taken by such a notice, shall be deemed to be incurred or paid for the use and at the request of the person who carried out the works to which the notice relates. (2) Subsections (2) and (3) of section forty-nine of this Act shall have effect in relation to notices under section fifty-two thereof, as if any reference therein to an enforcement notice were a reference to a notice under the said section fifty-two.

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.
