Propose a change

Petroleum and Submarine Pipe-lines Act 1975 (repealed 15/02/1999)

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

25 Vesting of pipe-lines on termination or subsequent issue of authorisations.

(1) When an authorisation ceases to be in force the controlled pipe-line to which it relates shall, by virtue of this subsection, be transferred to and vest in the Secretary of State free from encumbrances, except that nothing in this subsection prejudices— (a) any interest belonging to the Crown Estate or to Her Majesty in right of the Duchy of Lancaster or to the Duchy of Cornwall; or (b) any right conferred by a notice served in respect of the pipe-line in pursuance of section 23 of this Act. (2) Where the Secretary of State proposes to issue an authorisation to any person in respect of a pipe-line vested in the Secretary of State by virtue of the preceding subsection he may agree with that person, on terms which may include provision for the making of payments by that person to the Secretary of State, that the authorisation is to include a statement that this subsection applies to the authorisation; and where an authorisation includes such a statement the pipe-line to which the authorisation relates shall, by virtue of this subsection and at the time specified in that behalf in the authorisation, be transferred to and vest in the holder of the authorisation subject to any interest or right then subsisting in respect of the pipe-line by virtue of paragraph (a) or (b) of the preceding subsection. (3) It shall be the duty of the Secretary of State to pay into the Consolidated Fund any sums received by him by way of such payments as are mentioned in the preceding subsection.

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.
