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.

What to do with it
As published

35 Housing trusts: power to transfer housing to local housing authority.

(1) A housing trust may— (a) sell or lease to the local housing authority the houses provided by the trust, or (b) make over to the authority the management of the houses. (2) So far as subsection (1) confers power to dispose of land— (za) it does not apply to private registered providers of social housing (on whom power to dispose of land is conferred by section 171 of the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008); (a) it does not apply to registered social landlords (on whom power to dispose of land is conferred by section 8 of the Housing Act 1996);. (b) it has effect subject to section 9 (dispositions requiring consent of Corporation) where the housing trust is an unregistered housing association and the land is grant-aided land (as defined in Schedule 1); and (c) it has effect subject to sections 117 to 121 of the Charities Act 2011 (restrictions on dispositions of charity land) where the housing trust is a charity.

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.
