Propose a change

Trustee Act 2000

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

22 Review of agents, nominees and custodians etc.

(1) While the agent, nominee or custodian continues to act for the trust, the trustees— (a) must keep under review the arrangements under which the agent, nominee or custodian acts and how those arrangements are being put into effect, (b) if circumstances make it appropriate to do so, must consider whether there is a need to exercise any power of intervention that they have, and (c) if they consider that there is a need to exercise such a power, must do so. (2) If the agent has been authorised to exercise asset management functions, the duty under subsection (1) includes, in particular— (a) a duty to consider whether there is any need to revise or replace the policy statement made for the purposes of section 15, (b) if they consider that there is a need to revise or replace the policy statement, a duty to do so, and (c) a duty to assess whether the policy statement (as it has effect for the time being) is being complied with. (3) Subsections (3) and (4) of section 15 apply to the revision or replacement of a policy statement under this section as they apply to the making of a policy statement under that section. (4) “Power of intervention” includes— (a) a power to give directions to the agent, nominee or custodian; (b) a power to revoke the authorisation or appointment.

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.
