Propose a change

Higher Education Act 2004

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

20A Institutions that cease to be qualifying institutions

(1) An institution that ceases to be a qualifying institution is a “transitional institution” during the shorter of— (a) the period of 12 months beginning with the day on which it ceases to be a qualifying institution, and (b) the period beginning with that day and ending when it becomes a qualifying institution again, (and the shorter period is referred to in this section as “the transitional period”). (2) For the purposes of this Part, a transitional institution is to be treated as continuing to be a qualifying institution during the transitional period, subject to subsection (3). (3) A complaint is not a qualifying complaint to the extent that it is about an act or omission of a transitional institution which occurred on or after the day on which the transitional period began. (4) In section 12(3) (power of designated operator to determine when certain complaints are qualifying complaints), the reference to a qualifying institution within paragraph (da), (e), (ea) or (f) of subsection (1) of section 11, or a qualifying institution specified in regulations made under subsection (2) of that section, includes a transitional institution that was a qualifying institution within the paragraph in question immediately before the beginning of the transitional period.

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.
