Propose a change

Equality Act 2006

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

20 Investigations

(1) The Commission may investigate whether or not a person— (a) has committed an unlawful act, (b) has complied with a requirement imposed by an unlawful act notice under section 21, or (c) has complied with an undertaking given under section 23.

(4) Before settling a report of an investigation recording a finding that a person has committed an unlawful act or has failed to comply with a requirement or undertaking the Commission shall— (a) send a draft of the report to the person, (b) specify a period of at least 28 days during which he may make written representations about the draft, and (c) consider any representations made. (5) Schedule 2 makes supplemental provision about investigations.

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.
