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

39 Supplementary provisions relating to statements

(1) A relevant authority's pay policy statement must be approved by a resolution of the authority before it comes into force. (2) The first statement must be prepared and approved before the end of 31 March 2012. (3) Each subsequent statement must be prepared and approved before the end of the 31 March immediately preceding the financial year to which it relates. (4) A relevant authority may by resolution amend its pay policy statement (including after the beginning of the financial year to which it relates). (5) As soon as is reasonably practicable after approving or amending a pay policy statement, the authority must publish the statement or the amended statement in such manner as it thinks fit (which must include publication on the authority's website).

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.
