Propose a change

Transport Act 1982

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.

In this Act— “the 1967 Act” means the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1967; “the 1972 Act” means the Road Traffic Act 1972; “prescribed” means prescribed by regulations made by the Secretary of State; and “road” means any highway and any other road to which the public has access, and includes bridges over which a road passes except that in Scotland it has the same meaning as in the Roads (Scotland) Act 1984.

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.
