Propose a change

Riot Compensation Act 2016

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

4 The decision-maker on a claim

(1) The decision on a claim is to be made by the appropriate local policing body, except where— (a) the body delegates functions to another person in accordance with regulations made under subsection (2)(b), or (b) the Secretary of State makes a direction under section 5(1)(b) (transfer of claims to the Secretary of State). (2) The Secretary of State may make regulations allowing a local policing body to delegate to another person either or both of the following functions— (a) dealing with procedural matters on a claim; (b) making a decision on a claim. (3) Regulations under subsection (2) may in particular make provision about— (a) the persons to whom functions may be delegated, (b) the types of claim in relation to which functions may be delegated (by reference to the nature of the property, the amount of the claim, the identity of the claimant or otherwise), and (c) the payment and auditing of persons to whom functions are delegated.

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.
