Propose a change

Agricultural Holdings Act 1986

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

22 Rights to require certain records to be made.

(1) At any time during the tenancy of an agricultural holding— (a) the landlord or the tenant may require the making of a record of the condition of the fixed equipment on the holding and of the general condition of the holding itself (including any parts not under cultivation), and (b) the tenant may require the making of a record of any fixtures or buildings which, under section 10 above, he is entitled to remove and of existing improvements executed by him or in respect of the execution of which he, with the written consent of the landlord, paid compensation to an outgoing tenant. (2) Any such record shall be made by a person appointed, by the landlord and tenant (“the parties”) or, in default of agreement between the parties, by a person appointed by a professional authority on the application of either of them; and any person appointed by a professional authority may, on production of evidence of his appointment, enter the holding at all reasonable times for the purpose of making any such record. (2A) A party may not make an application to a professional authority under subsection (2) in any case if the other party has already made an application to a professional authority under that subsection in that case. (3) The cost of making any such record shall, in default of agreement between the landlord and tenant, be borne by them in equal shares. (4) No application may be made to a professional authority for a person to be appointed by that authority under subsection (2) above unless the application is accompanied by such fee as may be prescribed as the fee for such an application. (5) Any instrument of appointment purporting to be made by a professional authority by virtue of subsection (2) above and to be signed by or on behalf of that authority shall be taken to be such an instrument unless the contrary is shown. (6) In this section “professional authority” has the same meaning as in section 84.

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.
