Propose a change

Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992

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

43 Newly-formed trade unions.

(1) The following provisions of this Chapter do not apply to a trade union which has been in existence for less than twelve months— (a) section 27 (duty to supply copy of rules), (b) sections 32 to 37 (annual return, statement for members, accounts and audit), . . . (ba) sections 37A to 37E (investigation of financial affairs), and (c) sections 38 to 42 (members’ superannuation schemes). (2) Sections 24 to 26 (register of members’ names and addresses) do not apply to a trade union until more than one year has elapsed since its formation (by amalgamation or otherwise). For this purpose the date of formation of a trade union formed otherwise than by amalgamation shall be taken to be the date on which the first members of the executive of the union are first appointed or elected.

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.
