Propose a change

International Development (Reporting and Transparency) Act 2006

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

1 Annual reports: general

(1) It shall be the duty of the Secretary of State to lay before each House of Parliament each year a report about international aid pursuant to the provisions of this Act (an “annual report”). (2) In this Act, “relevant period” means— (a) a period of 12 months ending with 31st December, in the case of information which is normally produced by reference to calendar years, (b) in any other case, a period of 12 months ending with 31st March. (3) An annual report shall, subject to subsection (5), be laid before each House of Parliament as soon as practicable after 31st March each year. (4) An annual report may revise anything contained in a previous annual report. (5) Nothing in this Act shall be read as preventing an annual report being combined with any other report which the Secretary of State lays before either House of Parliament.

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.
