(2) “The post-disposal period” means the period of 6 months beginning with the date of the disposal of the asset by C. (3) P may give a notice under section 523 in accordance with subsection (1)(c) even if it does not expect to meet conditions C, E and F in section 528 throughout accounting period 1.

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.
