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

61 Power of local housing authority to supply furniture to housing association tenants.

(1) A local housing authority may sell, or supply under a hire-purchase agreement, furniture to the occupants of houses provided by a housing association under arrangements made with the authority, and may buy furniture for this purpose. (2) In this section “hire-purchase agreement” means a hire-purchase agreement or conditional sale agreement within the meaning of the Consumer Credit Act 1974. (3) This section does not apply where the housing association is — (a) a private registered provider of social housing, or (b) a registered social landlord (for which corresponding provision is made by section 22 of the Housing Act 1996).

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.
