Propose a change

Financial Services and Markets Act 2000

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.

(3) The amounts to be paid under the rules may include a component to recover the expenses of the FCA in collecting the payments (“collection costs”). (4) Before the FCA publishes a draft of the rules it must consult the Treasury. (5) The rules may be made only with the consent of the Treasury. (6) The Treasury may notify the FCA of matters that they will take into account when deciding whether or not to give consent for the purposes of subsection (5).

(9) The Treasury must pay into the Consolidated Fund the amounts received by them under subsection (8). (10) In this section the “Treasury's illegal money lending costs” means the expenses incurred, or expected to be incurred, by the Treasury— (a) in connection with providing grants, loans, or other financial assistance to any person (under section 333S or otherwise) for the purpose of taking action against illegal money lending; (b) in undertaking or commissioning research relating to taking action against illegal money lending. (11) The Treasury may by regulations amend the definition of the “Treasury's illegal money lending costs”.

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.
