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

300 Appeals and applications to courts of summary jurisdiction.

(1) Where any enactment in this Act provides— (a) for an appeal to a court of summary jurisdiction against a requirement, refusal or other decision of a council; or (b) for any matter to be determined by, or an application in respect of any matter to be made to, a court of summary jurisdiction, the procedure shall be by way of complaint for an order, and the Summary Jurisdiction Acts shall apply to the proceedings. (2) The time within which any such appeal may be brought shall be twenty-one days from the date on which notice of the council’s requirement, refusal or other decision was served upon the person desiring to appeal, and for the purposes of this subsection the making of the complaint shall be deemed to be the bringing of the appeal. (3) In any case where such an appeal lies, the document notifying to the person concerned the decision of the council in the matter shall state the right of appeal to a court of summary jurisdiction and the time within which such an appeal may be brought.

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.
