Propose a change

Energy Act 1983

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

37 Commencement.

(1) This Act shall come into force on such day as the Secretary of State may appoint by order made by statutory instrument, and different days may be so appointed for different purposes. (2) An order under subsection (1) above may make such transitional provision and savings as appear to the Secretary of State to be necessary or expedient. (3) If section 17(5) of the Nuclear Installations Act 1965 has not been brought into force under section 30(2) of that Act before the day appointed under subsection (1) above for the coming into force of section 31 of this Act, it shall come into force on that day.

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.
