Propose a change

Mines (Working Facilities and Support) Act 1923

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

THIRD SCHEDULE Rules for Determining Percentage of Contributions to Additional Expenses for Damages Payable by a Company.

Section 15. 1 The percentage shall be one hundred if the specified minerals do not extend beyond the boundary of the protected works, and shall diminish by one for every one-and-a-half yards by which the specified minerals extend beyond that boundary on each side thereof. 2 If the specified minerals extend to one hundred and fifty yards or more beyond such boundary, no payment shall be due by the company. 3 If the specified minerals extend further from such boundary on one side of the railway than on the other, they shall, for the purposes of this schedule, be deemed to extend beyond such boundary for the mean of such distances on both sides of the railway.

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.
