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.

What to do with it
As published

3 General power of investment.

(3) The general power of investment does not permit a trustee to make investments in land other than in loans secured on land (but see also section 8). (4) A person invests in a loan secured on land if he has rights under any contract under which— (a) one person provides another with credit, and (b) the obligation of the borrower to repay is secured on land. (5) “Credit” includes any cash loan or other financial accommodation. (6) “Cash” includes money in any form.

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.
