Propose a change

Post Office Act 1908

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

78 Recovery of sums from officers of Post Office

(1) When any sum not exceeding twenty pounds is due from any officer of the Post Office or from his sureties in respect of moneys received in the discharge of his duty, it may be recovered in the United Kingdom summarily as a civil debt, and any such sum of whatever amount may be recovered in the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man as a debt due to the Crown. (2) When any such sum does not exceed fifty pounds it may be recovered in Ireland, without prejudice to any other mode of recovery, in the civil bill court.

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.
