Propose a change

Public Audit (Wales) Act 2004

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

31 Right to make objections at audit

(1) At an audit of accounts under this Chapter a local government elector for the area to which the accounts relate, or any representative of his, may make objections before the Auditor General for Wales as to— (a) any matter in respect of which the Auditor General for Wales has a power to apply for a declaration under section 32; (b) any other matter in respect of which the Auditor General for Wales has the power to make a report under section 22. (2) A local government elector proposing to make an objection under subsection (1) must— (a) give written notice to the Auditor General for Wales of the proposed objection and the grounds on which it is to be made, and (b) at the same time, send a copy of the notice to the body whose accounts are being audited.

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.
