Propose a change

New Roads and Street Works Act 1991

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

11 Variation or revocation of toll order.

(1) A toll order may be varied or revoked— (a) by an order made by the Secretary of State if he is the highway authority for the road, and (b) by an order made by the highway authority and confirmed by the Secretary of State in any other case. (2) The Secretary of State may confirm an order made by another authority either without modifications or subject to such modifications as he thinks fit. (3) A toll order may not be varied so as to extend the toll period; and a toll order which does not authorise the charging of tolls in respect of the whole length of the special road to which it relates may not be varied so as to extend the length of road in respect of which tolls may be charged. (4) A toll order relating to a road subject to a concession may not be varied or revoked without the consent of the concessionaire. (5) An order under this section may contain such supplementary, incidental and transitional provisions as appear to the highway authority to be necessary or expedient. (6) An order under this section made by the Secretary of State, and an instrument made by the Secretary of State confirming an order under this section made by another authority, shall be made by statutory instrument which shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament. The provisions of Schedule 2 (procedure in connection with toll orders) do not apply.

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.
