Propose a change

Housing 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

232 Register of licences and management orders

(1) Every local housing authority must establish and maintain a register of— (a) all licences granted by them under Part 2 or 3 which are in force; (b) all temporary exemption notices served by them under section 62 or section 86 which are in force; and (c) all management orders made by them under Chapter 1 or 2 of Part 4 which are in force. (2) The register may, subject to any requirements that may be prescribed, be in such form as the authority consider appropriate. (3) Each entry in the register is to contain such particulars as may be prescribed. (4) The authority must ensure that the contents of the register are available at the authority’s head office for inspection by members of the public at all reasonable times. (5) If requested by a person to do so and subject to payment of such reasonable fee (if any) as the authority may determine, a local housing authority must supply the person with a copy (certified to be true) of the register or of an extract from it. (6) A copy so certified is prima facie evidence of the matters mentioned in it. (7) In this section “prescribed” means prescribed by regulations made by the appropriate national authority.

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.
