Propose a change

Social Security Act 1998

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

39ZA Certificates

A document bearing a certificate which— is signed by a person authorised in that behalf by the Secretary of State, and states that the document, apart from the certificate, is a record of a decision of an officer of the Secretary of State, shall be conclusive evidence of the decision; and a certificate purporting to be so signed shall be deemed to be so signed unless the contrary is proved.

Your change, as a redline

39ZA Certificates

A document bearing a certificate which— is signed by a person authorised in that behalf by the Secretary of State, and states that the document, apart from the certificate, is a record of a decision of an officer of the Secretary of State, shall be conclusive evidence of the decision; and a certificate purporting to be so signed shall be deemed to be so signed unless the contrary is proved.

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.
