Propose a change

Social Security (Recovery of Benefits) Act 1997

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

16 Payments into court.

(2) The regulations may (among other things) provide— (a) for the making of a payment into court to be treated in prescribed circumstances as the making of a compensation payment, (b) for application for, and issue of, certificates of recoverable benefits, and (c) for the relevant period to be treated as ending on a date determined in accordance with the regulations. (3) Rules of court may make provision governing practice and procedure in such cases. (4) This section does not extend to Scotland.

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.
