Propose a change

Transport and Works Act 1992

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

22 Validity of orders under section 1 or 3.

(1) If a person aggrieved by an order under section 1 or 3 above desires to question the validity of it, or of any provision contained in it, on the ground— (a) that it is not within the powers of this Act, or (b) that any requirement imposed by or under this Act or the Tribunals and Inquiries Act 1992 has not been complied with, he may, before the end of the period of 6 weeks beginning with the day after the day on which notice of the determination to make the order is first published under section 14(1)(b), make an application for the purpose to the High Court. (2) On any such application, the court— (a) may by interim order suspend the operation of the order, or of any provision contained in it, either generally or in so far as it affects any property of the applicant, until the final determination of the proceedings, and (b) if satisfied that the order or any provision contained in it is not within the powers of this Act, or that the interests of the applicant have been substantially prejudiced by a failure to comply with any requirement imposed by or under this Act or the Tribunals and Inquiries Act 1992, may quash the order or any provision contained in it, either generally or in so far as it affects any property of the applicant. (3) Subject to subsections (1) and (2) above, an order under section 1 or 3 above shall not, either before or after it has been made, be questioned in any legal proceedings whatever.

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.
