Propose a change

Public Health Act 1936

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.

What to do with it
As published

231 Byelaws with respect to public bathing.

(1) A local authority may make byelaws with respect to public bathing, and may by such byelaws— (a) regulate the areas in which, and the hours during which, public bathing shall be permitted; (aa) prohibit or restrict public bathing at times when and places as respects which warning is given, by the display of flags or by other means specified in the byelaws, that bathing is dangerous. (b) fix the places at which bathing-machines may be stationed, or bathing huts or tents may be erected; (c) regulate the manner in which bathing-machines, huts or tents may be used, and the charges which may be made for the use thereof; (d) regulate, so far as decency requires, the costumes to be worn by bathers; (e) require persons providing accommodation for bathing to provide and maintain life-saving appliances, or other means of protecting bathers from danger; and (f) regulate, for preventing danger to bathers, the navigation of vessels used for pleasure purposes within any area allotted for public bathing during the hours allowed for bathing. (2) If and so far as a byelaw made under the preceding subsection is inconsistent with a byelaw made by dock undertakers, the latter shall prevail.

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.
