Propose a change

Housing Associations Act 1985

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

105 Members of a persons family

(1) A person is a member of another's family if— (a) he is the spouse or civil partner of that person, or he and that person live together as husband and wife, or in a relationship which has the characteristics of the relationship between civil partners or (b) he is that person's parent, grandparent, child, grand- child, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, nephew or niece. (2) For the purposes of subsection (1)(b)— (a) a relationship by marriage or civil partnership shall be treated as a relation- ship by blood, (b) a relationship of the half-blood shall be treated as a relationship of the whole blood, (c) the stepchild of a person shall be treated as his child, and (d) an illegitimate child shall be treated as the legitimate child of his mother and reputed father.

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.
