Propose a change

Localism Act 2011

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

234 Pre-commencement consultation

(1) Subsections (2) and (3) apply for the purpose of determining whether there has been compliance with— (a) a requirement for consultation imposed by this Act, (b) a requirement for consultation which applies in relation to things done under an Act amended by this Act, or (c) a requirement (whether or not imposed by this Act) to do something in connection with a consultation under a requirement within paragraph (a) or (b). (2) The fact that a provision of this Act was not in force when consultation took place or anything was done in connection with a consultation is to be disregarded in determining whether there has been compliance with the requirement. (3) The fact that consultation was carried out by a body from whom functions are transferred by this Act, or anything was done by such a body in connection with a consultation, is to be disregarded in determining whether there has been compliance with the requirement by a body to whom those functions are transferred. (4) Subsection (3) is without prejudice to any other provision of this Act that applies to the transfer. (5) References in this section to a requirement imposed by this Act include a requirement imposed by another Act as a result of its amendment by this Act.

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.
