Propose a change

Guardianship (Missing Persons) Act 2017

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

21 Right to intervene

(1) The missing person's spouse, civil partner, parent, child or sibling may intervene in— (a) proceedings on an application for a guardianship order; (b) proceedings relating to the variation or revocation of a guardianship order; (c) other proceedings relating to the exercise of functions by a guardian. (2) Any other person may intervene in such proceedings only with the permission of the court. (3) The court must refuse permission to intervene if it considers that the applicant does not have a sufficient interest in relation to the missing person's property or financial affairs. (4) References in this section to intervening in proceedings include arguing before the court any question which the court considers it necessary to have fully argued for the purposes of the proceedings.

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.
