Propose a change

Commons Act 1876

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 Owners may make byelaws.

The majority in value of the owners of skirts or rights of pasture in any regulated pasture created under the provisions of the General Inclosure Act 1845, in addition to the powers they now possess are hereby authorised at any annual meeting for the election of field reeves to make byelaws and regulations for the prevention of or protection from nuisances or for keeping order on the regulated pasture, and for general management, occupation, and enjoyment of the regulated pasture, provided the consent of the lord of the manor is given to such byelaws.

Your change, as a redline

15 Owners may make byelaws.

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.
