Propose a change

Public Authorities (Fraud, Error and Recovery) Act 2025

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

20 Joint accounts

(1) Before making a direct deduction order in respect of a joint account, the Minister must make an assessment of the liable person’s beneficial interest in the amounts which are or may be in the account from time to time. (2) The Minister must presume that the liable person’s beneficial interest entitles them to the following share in the amounts which are or may be in the account from time to time— 1 N where “N” is the number of account holders. (3) But the presumption does not apply where the Minister has reason to believe that the liable person’s beneficial interest is different from the presumed share. (4) In making an assessment under subsection (1), the Minister must have regard to— (a) the bank statements obtained for the account under section 19, and (b) any responses to a notice under section 21.

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.
