Propose a change

Architects (Registration) Act 1931 (Repealed 21.7.1997)

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

7ZA Disciplinary orders.

(1) The Professional Conduct Committee may make a disciplinary order in relation to a registered person if— (a) it is satisfied, after considering his case, that he is guilty of unacceptable professional conduct or serious professional incompetence; or (b) he has been convicted of a criminal offence other than an offence which has no material relevance to his fitness to practise as an architect. (2) In this Act “disciplinary order” means— (a) a reprimand; (b) a penalty order; (c) a suspension order; or (d) an erasure order. (3) Where the Professional Conduct Committee makes a disciplinary order in relation to a person, the Registrar shall serve written notice of the order on the person as soon as is reasonably practicable. (4) The Professional Conduct Committee shall, at appropriate intervals and in such manner as it considers appropriate, publish— (a) the names of persons whom it has found guilty of unacceptable professional conduct or serious professional incompetence or in relation to whom it has made a disciplinary order under subsection (1)(b); and (b) in the case of each person a description of the conduct, incompetence or offence concerned and the nature of any disciplinary order made. (5) Where, after considering the case of a registered person, the Professional Conduct Committee is not satisfied that he is guilty of unacceptable professional conduct or serious professional incompetence, it shall, if he so requests, publish a statement of that fact in such manner as it considers appropriate.

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.

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.
