Propose a change

Financial Services (Banking Reform) Act 2013

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

97B Standards instruments

(2) A standards instrument must specify the provision under which the instrument is being made. (3) To the extent that a standards instrument does not comply with subsection (2), it is void. (4) A standards instrument must be published by the Payment Systems Regulator in the way appearing to the regulator to be best calculated to bring it to the attention of the public. (5) The Treasury must lay before Parliament a copy of each standards instrument made under this section. (6) The Payment Systems Regulator may charge a reasonable fee for providing a person with a copy of a standards instrument.

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.
