Propose a change

Nurses, Midwives and Health Visitors Act 1979

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

15 Rules as to midwifery practice.

(1) The Council shall make rules regulating the practice of midwives and these rules may in particular— (a) determine the circumstances in which, and the procedure by means of which, midwives may be suspended from practice; (b) require midwives to give notice of their intention to practise to the local supervising authority for the area in which they intend to practise; and (c) require registered midwives to attend courses of instruction in accordance with the rules. (2) If rules are made requiring midwives to give the notice referred to in subsection (1)(b), it is then the duty of the local supervising authority to inform the Council of any notices given to them in compliance with the rules.

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.
