Propose a change

Housing and Regeneration Act 2008

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.

152 Proposals

(1) During a moratorium the regulator may make proposals about the future ownership and management of the registered provider's land, with a view to ensuring that the property will be properly managed by a registered provider. (2) In making proposals the regulator shall— (a) have regard to the interests of the registered provider's creditors as a whole, and (b) so far as is reasonably practicable avoid worsening the position of unsecured creditors. (3) Proposals may provide for the appointment of a manager in accordance with section 155 to implement all or part of the proposals. (4) Proposals may not include anything which would result in— (a) a preferential debt being paid otherwise than in priority to a non-preferential debt, ... (aa) an ordinary preferential debt being paid otherwise than in priority to a secondary preferential debt, (b) a preferential creditor (PC1) being paid a smaller proportion of an ordinary preferential debt than another preferential creditor (PC2) (unless PC1 consents) ... (c) a preferential creditor (PC1) being paid a smaller proportion of a secondary preferential debt than another preferential creditor (PC2) (unless PC2 consents) or (d) if the registered provider is a relevant financial institution— (i) an ordinary non-preferential debt being paid otherwise than in priority to a secondary non-preferential debt, (ii) a secondary non-preferential debt being paid otherwise than in priority to a tertiary non-preferential debt, or (iii) a secondary non-preferential creditor (Creditor 1) being paid a smaller proportion of a secondary non-preferential debt than another secondary non-preferential creditor (Creditor 2) (unless Creditor 1 consents). (5) Proposals relating to a registered provider which is a charity (C1)— (a) may not require it to act outside the terms of its trusts, and (b) may provide for the disposal of accommodation only to another charity whose objects the regulator thinks are similar to those of C1.

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.
