Propose a change

Reserve Forces Act 1980

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 Permanent service call out of naval and marine reserves.

(1) Every officer and man serving in— (a) the Royal Naval Reserve and the Royal Fleet Reserve, except a man of the special class of the Royal Fleet Reserve to whom section 11 above applies, (b) the Royal Marines Reserve, is liable, during the whole of that service, to be called out for permanent service whenever an order under section 52(1)(b) of the Reserve Forces Act 1996 is in force. The reference in this subsection to the United Kingdom shall be construed as if that expression included the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. (1A) Sections 50(6), and 52(3) to (6) of the Reserve Forces Act 1996 shall apply to persons subject to this section as if they were persons to whom section 52 of that Act applied. (2) The provisions of subsection (1) above are in addition to, and not in substitution for, the provisions of any other enactment under which officers or men of the reserves mentioned in that subsection are liable to be called into permanent service.

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.
