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.

What to do with it
As published

157 Manager of registered society: extra powers

(1) This section applies to a manager appointed to implement proposals relating to a registered society. (2) The appointment may confer on the manager power to make and execute on behalf of the society— (a) an instrument providing for the amalgamation of the society with another registered society, or (b) an instrument transferring its engagements. (3) An instrument providing for the amalgamation of a society (“S1”) with another has the same effect as a resolution by S1 under section 109 of the Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act 2014 (amalgamation of societies by special resolution). (4) An instrument transferring engagements has the same effect as a transfer of engagements under section 110 or 112 of the Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act 2014 (transfer by special resolution to another society or company). (5) A copy of the instrument shall be sent to and registered by the Financial Conduct Authority. (6) An instrument does not take effect until the copy is registered. (7) The copy must be sent for registration during the period of 14 days beginning with the date of execution; but a copy registered after that period is valid.

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.
